1
Prepare Ingredients
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain well and set aside.
2
Mince Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them using a knife or a garlic press.
3
Heat Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
4
Sauté Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant but not browned.
5
Add Spinach
Add the washed spinach to the skillet, stirring gently to combine with the garlic and olive oil.
6
Season
Sprinkle the spinach with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Continue to sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and tender.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the sautéed spinach. Toss to combine.
8
Serve
Transfer the sautéed spinach to a serving dish and enjoy immediately as a side dish or as a topping for other dishes.
