Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Thoroughly wash and dry the fresh spinach. Set aside.
Peel and finely mince the fresh ginger and garlic cloves.
Zest an orange to yield 1 teaspoon of orange zest, then juice the orange to get 2 tablespoons of orange juice.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Reduce the heat slightly and add the spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring often to help it wilt evenly.
Once the spinach has wilted, about 2-3 minutes, sprinkle the orange zest over it and drizzle with orange juice. Stir well to combine.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and transfer the wilted spinach to a serving dish. Serve warm and enjoy.
