1
Wash the Spinach
Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain well.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant but not browned.
5
Add Spinach
Gradually add the washed spinach to the skillet. It may seem like a lot at first, but it will wilt down significantly.
6
Cook the Spinach
Sauté the spinach for about 2-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the leaves are wilted and tender.
7
Season
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the sautéed spinach. Drizzle with lemon juice and stir well to combine.
