Garlic Sautéed Spinach

Step 1

Trim the stem from the leaves, then wash the leaves very well (spinach often holds a lot of dirt).

Step 2

Shake off excess water but do not dry (water droplets helps steam-cook the spinach).

Step 3

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook for 20 seconds until it becomes light golden and smells amazing.

Step 4

Add spinach, then use tongs or 2 wooden spoons to toss until the spinach wilts - about 2 minutes. I like mine just wilted.

Step 5

Remove from heat immediately and sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss once more.

Step 6

Transfer to serving platter and serve.
