Ingredients
- 10 cups fresh spinach
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh spinach under cold water and drain well. If the leaves are large, you can tear them into smaller pieces.
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the sliced garlic to the heated oil. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and just starting to brown. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can become bitter.
Step 5
Add the red pepper flakes to the skillet and stir briefly to release their flavor.
Step 6
Immediately add the fresh spinach to the skillet, working in batches if necessary, stirring frequently as it wilts down.
Step 7
Season the spinach with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Continue to stir-fry the spinach for about 3-5 minutes until completely wilted and tender.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle with lemon juice, tossing to combine.
Step 10
Adjust seasoning, if needed, and serve the garlic spinach stir-fry immediately as a vibrant side or light meal.
