1
Wash the Spinach
Thoroughly rinse the fresh spinach under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Shake off excess water and set aside.
2
Chop the Garlic and Onion
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Peel and dice the onion into small pieces.

3
Heat the Oil and Butter
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to bubble.
4
Sauté the Aromatics
Add the chopped garlic and onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
5
Add the Spinach
Gradually add the washed spinach to the skillet, stirring continuously. It may seem like a lot, but the spinach will wilt down significantly.
6
Season the Spinach
Once all the spinach is added and has wilted (about 2-4 minutes), sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
7
Finish Cooking
Continue to sauté the spinach for another 1-2 minutes until it is fully wilted and tender. Remove from heat.
