Ingredients
- 9-10 Ounces Fresh Spinach
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Teaspoon Minced Garlic
- ¼ Teaspoon Salt plus more if needed
- ¼ Teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
- Place a medium sized skillet over medium heat, on the stove, and add the olive oil and garlic, while the pan is still cool.
- As the pan starts to warm up and thin the oil, add the spinach, a handful at a time. As it shrinks a bit and makes more room, add more spinach, until all the spinach has been added. Gently move the spinach around so it doesn’t burn, but don’t beat it up.
- Cook the spinach for 3 to 4 more minutes or until the desired texture has been reached. Season with salt and pepper.
Notes
Baby spinach works best for this recipe as it is easy to clean.
Spinach can be purchased in 9-10 ounce bags or plastic containers. It is reduced in volume when cooked so recipe can also be doubled if you need a larger portion.
