Garlic Sauteed Spinach
Ingredients
1 serving baby spinach leaves
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, sliced
Salt to taste
Method
- Clean and prep the spinach:
Cut off the thick stems of the spinach and discard. Clean the spinach and remove any excess moisture.
2. Sauté the garlic:
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until the garlic just begins to brown.
3. Add the spinach to the pan and cook:
Add the spinach to the pan, packing it down a bit if you need to with your hand. Use a couple of spatulas (or tongs) to lift the spinach and turn it over in the pan
4. Remove from heat and drain the excess liquid:
After 2 minutes of covered cooking the spinach should be completely wilted. Remove from heat.
