Sauteed Spinach

Simple sauteed spinach recipe

⏱ Prep: 1 min ⏱ Cook: 3 min

Ingredients

  • 10 oz baby spinach
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 clove garlic (minced)
  • 0 salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the spinach on a colander and then wash with running water. You can also first put the spinach in a mixing bowl with water and wash it there. Use the colander afterwards to drain the water. Let the water drain completely by constantly shaking the colander or using a salad spinner.

  2. Heat the olive oil on a pan and then add the garlic immediately. Slowly cook the garlic using low heat until it turns golden brown in color. Note: Avoid using high heat on your stove when browning minced garlic as it can burn quickly. (see notes)

  3. Add the spinach. Give it a quick toss. Cover the pan and adjust the heat setting to medium. Let it cook for 1 minute. Note: This will make the spinach shrink a bit making it easier for you to stir it later on.

  4. Remove the cover and stir. Continue cooking for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.

  5. Season with salt and ground black pepper.

  6. Serve. share and enjoy!
