Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the spinach thoroughly in cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and shake off excess water. Set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and saute for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the spinach to the skillet in batches, starting with a handful at a time. Stir constantly to help it wilt evenly.
Continue adding spinach until all of it is in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is fully wilted and tender.
Season the spinach with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Optional: Drizzle with fresh lemon juice for a bright, tangy flavor.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy your sauteed spinach with garlic as a side dish or topping for your favorite dish.
