Ingredients
- 8 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup canned whole kernel corn (drained)
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 cup red onion (finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Wash the spinach thoroughly and set it aside to drain.
Step 2
Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves and set them aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and chopped red onion to the skillet, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Step 5
Add the drained corn and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften slightly.
Step 6
Gradually add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring frequently to help it wilt evenly. This may need to be done in batches if the skillet’s capacity is limited.
Step 7
Once all the spinach has wilted, season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.
Step 8
Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then remove the skillet from heat.
Step 9
Drizzle the lemon juice over the dish, giving it a final stir.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish or a light main dish. Enjoy!
