Method

Preparation

1

Wash the Spinach

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

2

Prepare the Garlic

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Cooking

3

Heat the Olive Oil

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

4

Sauté the Garlic

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn it.

5

Add the Spinach

Add the washed spinach to the skillet and toss it with the garlic and olive oil. Stir continuously until the spinach wilts, which should take about 3-4 minutes.

6

Season

Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste. Stir well to mix everything together.

7

Serve

Once the spinach is wilted and seasoned, remove from heat and serve immediately as a side dish or as part of a main course.
