Garlic Sautéed Spinach
Description
Garlic Sautéed Spinach highlights baby spinach leaves cooked simply with olive oil and garlic to retain their bright color and tenderness. The spinach is added to the skillet in a large mound and gently turned to coat all leaves with the fragrant garlic oil. Covering the pan briefly allows the spinach to steam and soften evenly, while the short cooking time ensures the leaves remain soft but not mushy. Seasoned with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper at the end, the dish offers a balance between the mild sweetness of spinach and the pungency of garlic.
This sautéed spinach pairs effectively with proteins like grilled chicken or fish, or can be served alongside grains for a wholesome meal. Its straightforward preparation makes it suitable for everyday cooking and easily adjustable in portion size.
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and saute for 30 seconds. You don't want the garlic browning too much.
- Add the baby spinach to the pan. It will be a big mound, and you can use your hands to pack it in. Use tongs or a spatula to carefully flip the spinach over, so that all of the pieces get covered in oil and garlic.
- Cover the pan for a minute to let it steam, then stir again. Repeat this process until the spinach is wilted down, about 5 minutes later.
- Season with salt and pepper, then serve.
