Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Shake off excess water and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  3. 3

    Add Spinach

    Add the washed spinach to the skillet. It may seem like a lot at first, but it will wilt down significantly.

  4. 4

    Season and Cook

    Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté the spinach for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is wilted and tender.

  5. 5

    Finish with Lemon Juice

    Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle with lemon juice. Toss to combine and serve immediately.
