Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or sand. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

  3. 3

    Cook the Spinach

    Add the washed spinach to the skillet. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted and bright green.

  4. 4

    Season the Spinach

    Season the sautéed spinach with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve immediately as a side dish or as part of a larger meal.
