1
Wash the Spinach
Rinse the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Shake off excess water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
2
Mince Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.

3
Heat Olive Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
4
Sauté Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the heated oil and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
5
Add Spinach
Gradually add the washed spinach to the skillet, stirring continuously until it wilts. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
6
Season the Spinach
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the sautéed spinach, and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked spinach. Toss to combine.
