Ingredients
- 1 lb. spinach about 2 large bunches, fresh leaves
- 1 tablespoon butter salted
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic about 3 cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or more to taste
- black pepper dash
- lemon juice from half of a lemon
Instructions
- Wash the spinach really well and then pat it dry with a dish towel.
- In a very large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Add the spinach, salt and pepper to the skillet, toss to coat, and then cover. Cook (covered) for about 2 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring, for about 1 more minute while the liquid evaporates and the spinach wilts. Squeeze lemon juice over top, season with additional salt (if necessary) and serve with a slotted spoon.
Notes
- You can use regular fresh spinach leaves or fresh baby spinach leaves for this recipe. If your leaves are particularly large, you might want to roughly chop them before sautéing.
- I do not recommend using frozen spinach in this recipe.
- What else can I add to the spinach? Cooked, chopped bacon is a nice addition to the dish. You can also try sauteed spinach with onions or tomatoes (diced fresh or canned diced will both work).
- Instead of lemon juice, use balsamic vinegar for an acidic finish.
