Categories     side-dish

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds baby spinach leaves
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped garlic (6 cloves)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Lemon
Sea or kosher salt, optional

Steps:

  • Rinse the spinach well in cold water to make sure it's very clean. Spin it dry in a salad spinner, leaving just a little water clinging to the leaves.
  • In a very large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and saute the garlic over medium heat for about 1 minute, but not until it's browned. Add all the spinach, the salt, and pepper to the pot, toss it with the garlic and oil, cover the pot, and cook it for 2 minutes. Uncover the pot, turn the heat on high, and cook the spinach for another minute, stirring with a wooden spoon, until all the spinach is wilted. Using a slotted spoon, lift the spinach to a serving bowl and top with the butter, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkling of sea or kosher salt. Serve hot.

This Sautéed Spinach with Garlic and Lemon is one of the quickest, easiest vegetable side dishes you'll ever make. A delicious way to boost your menu with fiber and nutrients.

Provided by Valerie Brunmeier

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetable

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 pound baby spinach
½ lemon (juiced)
salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Add the olive oil to a large, deep skillet and place over MEDIUM heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for a minute or two or just until fragrant. Reduce heat a little, if needed, to avoid burning the garlic.
  • Add the spinach, a handful at a time, packing it down into the pan with your hand. It will be a great big mound but will cook down quickly. Use tongs to move the spinach around and toss it in the garlic olive oil. Cover the skillet briefly, 30 seconds or so, just until the spinach begins to cook down. Remove the cover and toss again. Remove from the heat just as soon as the spinach is mostly wilted. Pour off excess liquid from the bottom of the skillet, if needed. Season with salt and pepper, to taste and add the lemon juice. Toss well to combine. Sprinkle with a little crushed red pepper flakes, if desired, and serve immediately.
