Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh spinach leaves
- 2 large garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Wash the spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt and grit, then drain well.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the spinach to the skillet a few handfuls at a time, stirring continuously, allowing it to wilt before adding more.
Once all the spinach is in the pan and wilted, add the low-sodium soy sauce, black pepper, sea salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Continue to stir-fry for another minute or until the spinach is just tender but still bright green.
Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking and serve warm.
