1
Wash the Spinach
Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain well and set aside.
2
Prepare the Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely. Set aside.

3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn.
5
Add the Spinach
Gradually add the washed spinach to the skillet, tossing it with the garlic and oil. It may seem like a lot, but it will wilt down significantly.
6
Season and Cook
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the spinach. Continue to sauté for about 4-5 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and tender.
7
Add Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the sautéed spinach. Toss to combine.
