1
Prepare the Ingredients
Rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold 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 the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers, about 1-2 minutes.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
5
Add the Spinach
Gradually add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring constantly. It will wilt down significantly as it cooks.
6
Season the Spinach
Once the spinach has wilted (about 2-3 minutes), season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the sautéed spinach with fresh lemon juice. Toss to combine.
8
Serve
Transfer the sautéed spinach to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a side dish or as part of a main meal.
