1
Prepare the spinach
Rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and set aside.
2
Sauté the garlic
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.
3
Add the spinach
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet. It might seem like a lot, but it will wilt down significantly.
4
Season and cook
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the spinach. Toss gently to combine and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and tender.
5
Finish with lemon
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the sautéed spinach. Toss to combine and serve warm.
