Ingredients
- 10 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes, optional
Directions
Step 1
Wash the spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or sediments. Drain or spin the leaves in a salad spinner to remove excess water.
Step 2
In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Add the washed spinach to the skillet. It will seem like a lot of spinach, but it will wilt down substantially.
Step 5
Stir the spinach continuously using a wooden spoon or spatula until all the leaves are wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Sprinkle the black pepper and red pepper flakes, if using, over the spinach and stir well to combine for another 30 seconds.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the spinach.
Step 8
Stir again to ensure even distribution of the lemon juice, then serve immediately.
