Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh spinach leaves
• 2 large garlic clove
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Wash the spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt and grit, then drain well.

Step 2

Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Add the spinach to the skillet a few handfuls at a time, stirring continuously, allowing it to wilt before adding more.

Step 6

Once all the spinach is in the pan and wilted, add the low-sodium soy sauce, black pepper, sea salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

Step 7

Continue to stir-fry for another minute or until the spinach is just tender but still bright green.

Step 8

Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking and serve warm.
