Instructions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and set aside.

2

Heat the Oil

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

3

Sauté the Garlic

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

4

Add the Spinach

Slowly add the spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring constantly until the spinach wilts down. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

5

Season the Spinach

Once the spinach has wilted, season with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss to combine.

6

Serve

Remove from heat and serve immediately as a side dish.
