Garlic Sautéed Spinach
Report
A super quick side that's good for you and tastes fabulous. It always amazes me how much spinach wilts - so this is a great way to consume ALOT of good nutrition with just a few bites! A terrific side for meaty mains. Try a classic steakhouse dinner with Prime Rib or steak, Paris Mash and this Sautéed Spinach!

Ingredients
- 2 bunches spinach (Note 1)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves , finely chopped
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Trim the stem from the leaves, then wash the leaves very well (spinach often holds a lot of dirt).
- Shake off excess water but do not dry (water droplets helps steam-cook the spinach).
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook for 20 seconds until it becomes light golden and smells amazing.
- Add spinach, then use tongs or 2 wooden spoons to toss until the spinach wilts - about 2 minutes. I like mine just wilted.
- Remove from heat immediately and sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss once more.
- Transfer to serving platter and serve.
Notes
- Spinach is sold here in Australia in bunches. Once the leaves are cut from the stem, the leaves for each bunch amount to about 3 to 4 big handfuls. So use around 8 handfuls of spinach - it wilts by about 80% once sautéed.
- Recipe will also work with baby spinach but you will need even more because it's more delicate so it wilts even more.
- I also use this recipe for: Chopped kale, silverbeet / Swiss chard and Asian greens.
- Scaling recipe (click on servings and slide) - best to cook spinach in batches OR use a very large wok!
