Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Dry Spinach

    Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Spin dry in a salad spinner or pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Chop Onion and Mince Garlic

    Finely chop the medium onion and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat Oil and Butter

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to bubble.

  2. 4

    Sauté Aromatics

    Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Add Spinach

    Gradually add the washed spinach to the skillet, stirring continuously. Cook until the spinach is wilted, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 6

    Season the Spinach

    Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Transfer the sautéed spinach to a serving dish. If desired, drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
