Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
Rinse the fresh spinach under cold water and drain well. Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add the Spinach
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet. It may seem like a lot, but it will wilt down significantly. Stir to coat the spinach with the garlic and oil.
Cook the Spinach
Sauté the spinach for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's wilted and tender.
Season and Serve
Season the sautéed spinach with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir well and serve immediately.
