Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under running water and drain well. Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

    Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  4. 4

    Add Spinach

    Add the fresh spinach to the skillet. It may seem like a lot, but it will wilt down significantly.

  5. 5

    Season and Cook

    Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Sauté the spinach for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is wilted and tender.

  6. 6

    Finish with Lemon Juice

    Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze lemon juice over the sautéed spinach. Toss to combine.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the sautéed spinach to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a side dish.
