Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 - 16 oz bag baby spinach 2 large bunches of spinach about 1 pound
  • 3 - 4 garlic cloves sliced in half
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Clean and prep the baby spinach if it is required. If cleaning is required, fill up a large bowl with water and add a couple of tablespoons of white vinegar. Give the leave a quick soak and then rinse under running water. Place in a salad spinner to remove any excess moisture. 
  • In a large skillet, under medium-high heat, add oil and garlic. Sauté the for about 1 minute until the pieces are beginning to turn brown. 
  • Add spinach to the saucepan, packing it down a bit with a spatula. Using 2 spatulas or a kitchen tongue, turn the spinach and garlic so that everything is coated with olive oil. Turn a few times until the leaves start to wilt. 
  • Remove the pan and transfer the spinach to a platter for serving. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • The excess liquid from the cooked spinach contains tons of vitamins. Do not discard. Bread lovers, it is time to soak a piece of bread and enjoy all the delicious flavors from the spinach.
  • Add fresh herbs, such as scallions, shallots, parsley, or thyme for more varieties.
  • Add grated cheese, nuts, and even other leafy vegetables to create a new dish.
  • No need to add water. Lower the heat and cover the pan for about 1 - 2 minutes if you don't want crunchy leaves.
