Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Rinse the fresh spinach under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Drain well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop the Garlic

    Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Set aside in a small bowl.

  3. 3

    Heat the Olive Oil

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

  4. 4

    Sauté the Garlic

    Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and slightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  5. 5

    Add the Spinach

    Add the rinsed spinach to the skillet. It may seem like a lot, but it will wilt down significantly. Toss the spinach in the garlic oil.

  6. 6

    Season and Cook

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

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
