Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the Olive Oil

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

  3. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

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

  4. 4

    Add the 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 pepper over the spinach. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted and tender.

  6. 6

    Finish with Lemon Juice

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