Method
Preparation
Wash and prepare vegetables
Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and set aside. Halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the red bell pepper and onion.
Mince garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or garlic press.
Cooking
Sauté the vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add onion and bell pepper
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are softened and the onion is translucent.
Add tomatoes and season
Once the spinach is wilted, add the halved cherry tomatoes. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes are slightly softened.
Finishing touches
Garnish and serve
Remove from heat, stir in fresh parsley and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
