1
Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the fresh spinach under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain well and set aside.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.
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 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5
Add the Spinach
Gradually add the washed spinach to the skillet, stirring continuously. It may seem like a lot at first, but it will wilt down significantly.
6
Season the Spinach
Once all the spinach is added, season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Continue to stir until the spinach is wilted and tender, about 3-5 minutes.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the sautéed spinach. Toss well to combine.
8
Serve
Transfer the sautéed spinach to a serving dish and enjoy immediately as a nutritious side dish.
