Instructions

Place the spinach on a colander and then wash with running water. You can also first put the spinach in a mixing bowl with water and wash it there. Use the colander afterwards to drain the water. Let the water drain completely by constantly shaking the colander or using a salad spinner.

Heat the olive oil on a pan and then add the garlic immediately. Slowly cook the garlic using low heat until it turns golden brown in color. Note: Avoid using high heat on your stove when browning minced garlic as it can burn quickly. (see notes)

Add the spinach. Give it a quick toss. Cover the pan and adjust the heat setting to medium. Let it cook for 1 minute. Note: This will make the spinach shrink a bit making it easier for you to stir it later on.

Remove the cover and stir. Continue cooking for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.

Season with salt and ground black pepper.

Serve. share and enjoy!
