Simply Sauteed Spinach and Green Beans With Garlic image

Simple and a nice side dish for almost anything. Feel free to use either fresh or frozen green beans. I served this with roasted Cornish game hens and pureed winter squashes with orange. Enjoy!

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups frozen green beans, thawed and drained
2 cups fresh spinach leaves, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet and then add the olive oil.
  • When the oil is nice and hot throw in the green beans and season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the spinach and let that wilt down, stirring occasionally.
  • Add in the garlic and the butter and stir over low-medium heat. You don't want the garlic to brown but you do want it to cook for about 5-10 minutes and incorporate all the flavors.
  • Taste and re-season if needed.
  • Remove from the heat and serve!
