Ingredients
- 10 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash and dry the fresh spinach. Set aside.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the fresh ginger and garlic cloves.
Step 3
Zest an orange to yield 1 teaspoon of orange zest, then juice the orange to get 2 tablespoons of orange juice.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Step 6
Reduce the heat slightly and add the spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring often to help it wilt evenly.
Step 7
Once the spinach has wilted, about 2-3 minutes, sprinkle the orange zest over it and drizzle with orange juice. Stir well to combine.
Step 8
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 9
Remove from heat and transfer the wilted spinach to a serving dish. Serve warm and enjoy.
