1
Prep the Spinach
Rinse the fresh spinach under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Shake off excess water.
2
Prepare the Garlic
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves or use a garlic press for easier incorporation.

3
Steam the Spinach
In a large pot, bring about 1-2 inches of water to a boil. Place the spinach in a steamer basket over the boiling water, cover, and steam for about 3-5 minutes until wilted, stirring halfway through.
4
Sauté the Garlic
While the spinach is steaming, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
5
Combine and Season
Once the spinach is steamed, transfer it to the skillet with the sautéed garlic. Add salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss everything together gently and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors.
