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.
