Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 medium, minced garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Wash the spinach thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Shake off the excess water and set aside. You can also use a salad spinner to dry the leaves further.
Step 2
In a large skillet or wok, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Allow it to melt completely and coat the surface of the pan.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 4
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the spinach to the skillet. It might seem like a lot of spinach, but it will wilt down significantly.
Step 5
Using tongs or a wooden spoon, toss the spinach continuously to ensure even cooking. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted but still bright green.
Step 6
Sprinkle the red chili flakes, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper over the spinach. Toss well to combine.
Step 7
Remove from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the stir-fried spinach. Toss once more to ensure the lemon juice is evenly distributed.
Step 8
Transfer the stir-fried spinach to a serving dish and serve immediately as a side dish. Enjoy your Paleo Simple Stir-Fried Spinach!
