Ingredients
- 500 grams Spinach (fresh, washed, and stems removed)
- 6 pieces Garlic cloves (from garlic confit)
- 2 tablespoons Garlic confit oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter (unsalted)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add 2 tablespoons of garlic confit oil to the pan and let it warm.
Step 3
Add the garlic cloves from the garlic confit to the pan and gently smash them with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Sauté the smashed garlic for 1-2 minutes until aromatic but not browned.
Step 4
Add the spinach to the pan in batches, stirring frequently to wilt the leaves before adding more. Repeat until all the spinach has been added.
Step 5
Once the spinach is wilted and tender, stir in the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the spinach evenly.
Step 6
Season the spinach with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Turn off the heat and drizzle the spinach with the freshly squeezed lemon juice for a bright finish.
Step 8
Transfer the sautéed spinach to a serving dish and serve immediately as a side dish.
