This is a recipe I learned from my grandmother. It always amazed me how, with so few ingredients, she could bring out so much flavor in spinach. She used to serve the sautéed spinach with a nice piece of freshly baked homemade bread. Today, I still prepare this recipe for my family and it is always a hit.

Directions

1. Step

Wash spinach thoroughly to remove all traces of soil. My grandparents always insisted on the importance of thoroughly washing vegetables. This not only ensures that they are clean, but also improves their flavor.

2. Step

Peel and finely chop the garlic. You can use a garlic press to achieve a more intense flavor.

3. Step

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure the pan is hot before adding the garlic so that it browns quickly and does not burn.

4. Step

Add the garlic and sauté for a couple of minutes until golden brown. This will give the spinach a delicious and aromatic flavor.

5. Step

Add the spinach, salt and pepper. My advice is to add the spinach a little at a time, as its volume will decrease considerably as it cooks.

6. Step

Stir the spinach frequently so that it cooks evenly.

7. Step

Cook until spinach is tender, which should take about 5-7 minutes. If you like it crispier, cook a little less; if you like it softer, cook a little longer.

8. Step

Serve your sautéed spinach hot. You can sprinkle a little lemon on top to give it a citrus touch, it goes very well with the flavor of the garlic and olive oil.
