1
Prepare the Garlic
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Set aside for later use.
2
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
3
Sauté the Garlic
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden.
4
Add the Spinach
Gradually add the fresh spinach to the skillet. It may seem like too much at first, but it will wilt down significantly.
5
Season the Spinach
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the spinach. Toss gently to combine with the garlic and olive oil.
6
Wilt the Spinach
Continue to cook the spinach for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has completely wilted.
7
Add Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the wilted spinach. Toss to combine.
8
Serve
Transfer the wilted garlic spinach to a serving dish and enjoy immediately.
