1
Prepare the Ingredients
Rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Drain and set aside. Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
2
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers, about 1-2 minutes.
3
Sauté the Garlic
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4
Add the Spinach
Slowly add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring continuously to coat the leaves with the garlic and oil. It may seem like a lot, but it will wilt down significantly.
5
Season the Spinach
Sprinkle the spinach with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Continue to stir for about 3-5 minutes until the spinach is wilted and tender.
6
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the sautéed spinach. Toss to combine.
7
Serve
Transfer the spinach and garlic mixture to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a side dish or incorporate into other recipes.
