1
Prepare the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
2
Wash the Spinach
Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain well.
3
Heat the Olive 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 hot oil and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
5
Add Spinach
Add the prepared spinach to the skillet, tossing it in the garlic oil. It may seem like a lot, but it will wilt down significantly.
6
Season the Spinach
Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes over the spinach. Continue to toss and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and tender.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the sautéed spinach. Toss to combine and serve immediately.
