1
Wash and Prepare Spinach
Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Drain and set aside.
2
Mince Garlic and Shallot
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. Peel the shallot and chop it into small pieces.

3
Heat Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
4
Sauté Shallot and Garlic
Add the minced garlic and chopped shallot to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are fragrant and the shallot becomes translucent.
5
Add Spinach
Add the washed spinach to the skillet in batches, allowing it to wilt down before adding more. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
6
Season the Spinach
Once all the spinach is added and wilted, season with 1 teaspoon of salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Toss gently to combine before serving.
