Sautéed Garlic Spinach
This is Robyn's favorite way to eat spinach.
- 2 lbs. spinach leaves, coarsely chopped (80% of Costco bag)
- 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 10+ garlic cloves, coarsely chopped (or you can use whole garlic cloves)
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 C pine nuts, toasted under broiler (optional)
- lemon wedges (optional)
-
Sauté the garlic in olive oil for about 1 min. until garlic is clear.
-
Add the spinach and seasonings and sauté for 1-2 min. or until spinach is wilted.
-
Optionally, toss in pine nuts.
-
Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
This savory recipe is more than just a side dish. If you’re running late and have no time to create an elaborate dinner, this recipe is a lifesaver, taking under ten minutes to make! Brilliantly simple, deliciously healthy.
