1
Wash and Dry Spinach
Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Spin or pat dry using a salad spinner or clean kitchen towels.
2
Prepare Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them using a knife or a garlic press to release their flavor.

3
Heat Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
4
Sauté Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until it becomes fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
5
Add Spinach
Gradually add the washed spinach to the skillet. You may need to do this in batches, allowing the spinach to wilt down before adding more.
6
Season and Cook
Once all the spinach is added, sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir occasionally and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the spinach is fully wilted and tender.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked spinach. Toss to combine and adjust seasoning if necessary.
