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
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly in cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off excess water and set aside.
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Continue cooking the spinach for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fully wilted but still bright green. Avoid overcooking.
Step 7
Sprinkle the kosher salt and black pepper over the spinach and toss to combine evenly.
Step 8
Remove the pan from heat. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the sautéed spinach and give it a final toss.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a side dish and enjoy!
