Ingredients
- 5 ounces spinach
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove chopped
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- Lemon wedge for squeezing
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently. The garlic should become fragrant but should not brown.
- Add the spinach and sea salt, tossing continuously with tongs or a spatula. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the spinach begins to wilt but still retains its vibrant green color.
- Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking. Season with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. Serve warm.
