Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water, and drain well. Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  4. 4

    Add Spinach

    Add the washed spinach to the skillet. It may seem like a lot, but it will wilt down significantly.

  5. 5

    Season and Cook

    Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the spinach. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted and tender.

  6. 6

    Finish with Lemon Juice

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

  7. 7

    Serve
