Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups fresh spinach
- 14 oz artichoke hearts (canned or frozen, drained and quartered)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (grated, optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Stir in the quartered artichoke hearts and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing them to warm through and lightly brown.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, a handful at a time, cooking and stirring until it wilts down completely.
Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the spinach and artichokes, then remove the skillet from the heat.
If desired, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the dish and gently toss to blend.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a light vegetarian main course. Enjoy!
