1
Prepare the Ingredients
Start by rinsing the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Spin or pat dry with a towel. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
2
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm for about 1-2 minutes.
3
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4
Add the Spinach
Gradually add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring continuously. If necessary, add the spinach in batches to make it easier to mix.
5
Season the Spinach
Once all the spinach is added, sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the spinach. Continue to sauté for about 3-5 minutes until the spinach is wilted and tender.
6
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the sautéed spinach. Toss to combine.
7
Serve
Transfer the sautéed spinach to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a side dish.
