SIMPLE COOKED SPINACH WITH GARLIC

This is how I cook most of my greens – simple yet delicious!

2 large bunches of spinach,

Olive oil, extra virgin

3 cloves garlic, sliced

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Method

Remove any thick stalks of the spinach and discard. Clean the spinach by filling up your sink with water and soaking the spinach to loosen any sand or dirt. Drain the spinach and then repeat soaking and draining. Put the spinach in a salad spinner to remove any excess moisture or any method that works for you.

Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until the garlic is just beginning to brown.

Add the spinach and be careful as it will spit a little.  Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Toss to combine and allow to wilt for a minute or two.

Serve immediately.
