Garlic Sautéed Spinach

Ingredients

• 2 bunches spinach (Note 1)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper

Steps

1. Trim the stem from the leaves, then wash the leaves very well (spinach often holds a lot of dirt).
2. Shake off excess water but do not dry (water droplets helps steam-cook the spinach).
3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook for 20 seconds until it becomes light golden and smells amazing.
4. Add spinach, then use tongs or 2 wooden spoons to toss until the spinach wilts – about 2 minutes. I like mine just wilted.
5. Remove from heat immediately and sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss once more.
6. Transfer to serving platter and serve.
