Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 5 ounces fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Put a medium skillet on the stove over medium heat. Add the olive oil and garlic while the pan is still cool.
- Once the pan begins to warm and the oil thins, add the spinach one handful at a time, adding more as it shrinks and makes room.
- Gently move the spinach around the pan so it doesn’t burn, being careful not to beat it up.
- After about 3 minutes, when the spinach has cooked down by about half, sprinkle it with the salt and pepper.
- Cook for 2-3 more minutes, until it reaches the texture you like. Enjoy!
Notes
- Keep the pan from getting too hot when you add the oil and garlic. A slower cook gives you the best results.
-
This recipe makes a single serving. To feed more people, multiply the recipe and use a very large skillet or a Dutch oven.
- I’ve used both baby spinach and regular spinach, and they both turned out perfect, so use your favorite.
- Adjust the seasonings to your taste. You can also add others, like garlic powder.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Do not freeze.
