Sautéed Spinach Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and set aside. Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Thinly slice the red onion.

2. 2

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

3. 3

   Sauté the Onion and Garlic

   Add the thinly sliced red onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

4. 4

   Add the Spinach

   Gradually add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring continuously. The spinach will wilt down significantly in volume. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the spinach is fully wilted.

5. 5

   Season the Spinach

   Sprinkle the sautéed spinach with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to combine the seasonings evenly.

6. 6

   Finish with Lemon Juice

   Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the sautéed spinach. Toss to ensure the spinach is evenly coated with the lemon juice.

7. 7

   Serve

   Transfer the sautéed spinach to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a side dish.
