Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, finely minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Wash the spinach thoroughly under cold running water to remove dirt. Pat the leaves dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner.
Step 2
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted and begins to bubble, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.
Step 4
Add the washed spinach to the pan in batches, stirring constantly to allow it to wilt down before adding more. This process should take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Once all the spinach is wilted, season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Squeeze the lemon juice over the sautéed spinach and give it one final toss in the pan.
Step 7
Remove from heat and serve immediately as a side dish.
