Ingredients
- 12 Ounces baby spinach
- 1½ Cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 Cloves garlic large
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- ½ Teaspoons salt
- ⅛ Teaspoons Black Pepper Ground
Instructions
- Roughly chop your bunch of clean baby spinach leaves into smaller, manageable pieces. Keep aside.
- Slice cherry tomatoes into two and keep separate. Chop garlic fine.
- Keep your skillet on a medium heat setting and sauté briefly your chopped garlic with the olive oil for 1–2 minutes.
- Stir in a batch of the spinach. The bunch of chopped leaves will populate the pan. Wait for it briefly to decrease in size a bit, as the leaves release liquids into the pan so that you can add the remaining spinach leaves.
- Season with salt and black pepper (you can add more seasonings, see post for ideas). Mix it all up a bit.
- Stir in the tomatoes at the end, and cook them on the same medium heat setting until they get a bit soft. You can cook your cherry tomatoes further down, I like them less cooked.
- Take from the heat when it looks done and enjoy hot.
