Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    Rinse the fresh spinach under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  3. 3

    Sauté Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  4. 4

    Cook the Spinach

    Add the fresh spinach to the skillet. It may seem like a lot, but it will wilt down significantly. Stir occasionally and cook for 3-5 minutes, until the spinach is wilted and tender.

  5. 5

    Season

    Add salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional minute.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Enjoy warm!
