Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 700 grams Fresh spinach leaves
- 6 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 whole Lemon
Instructions
Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly in cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off excess water and set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the sliced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant and just starting to turn golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the spinach to the pan in batches, tossing with tongs to coat the leaves in the garlic-infused oil. As the spinach begins to wilt, add more until all the spinach is in the pan.
Continue cooking the spinach for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fully wilted but still bright green. Avoid overcooking.
Sprinkle the kosher salt and black pepper over the spinach and toss to combine evenly.
Remove the pan from heat. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the sautéed spinach and give it a final toss.
Serve immediately as a side dish and enjoy!
