Sauteed Baby Spinach With Garlic
serves 2-4
Cooking up garlic and spinach is all about the timing - no more than 30 seconds on the garlic or it'll start to brown, and only a few minutes for the spinach so it just wilts and is still bright green.
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 pounds baby spinach
salt and pepper
prep: 5 minutes
total: 15 minutes
large saucepan
tongs
1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. When it's hot and shimmering, stir in the garlic slices and sauté the garlic until it becomes fragrant, about 30 seconds.
2. Add the spinach to the pan a little at a time, stirring to coat with the olive oil and garlic. When all the spinach is in the pan and has wilted some, season with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted but still bright green, 4-6 minutes.
