Method

Preparation

Wash the Spinach

Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach leaves under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain well and set aside.

Prepare the Garlic

Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves to enhance their flavor in the dish.

Cooking

Heat the Olive Oil

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

Sauté the Garlic

Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes or until fragrant, making sure not to burn it.

Add the Spinach

Carefully add the washed spinach to the skillet. It may seem like a lot at first, but it will wilt down significantly.

Season the Spinach

Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the spinach. Stir gently to combine and cook for about 3-5 minutes until the spinach is wilted and cooked through.

Finish with Lemon Juice

Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the sautéed spinach. Toss to combine.
