Sautéed Spinach Recipe

Wash the Spinach

Thoroughly rinse 10 cups of fresh spinach under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain well.

Prepare the Garlic

Peel and finely chop 3 cloves of garlic.

Heat the Olive Oil

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

Sauté the Garlic

Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until it becomes fragrant and lightly golden.

Add the Spinach

Gradually add the rinsed spinach to the skillet. It may seem like a lot, but it will wilt down significantly.

Season the Spinach

Sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper over the spinach. Stir occasionally as the spinach wilts.

Finish Cooking

Continue to cook for about 3-5 minutes until the spinach is completely wilted and tender.

Add Lemon Juice

Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the sautéed spinach. Toss to combine.
