| SAUTEED SPINACH |
Recipe adapted from www.simplyrecipes.com
1 bunch of spinach
Olive oil
3 cloves garlic, sliced
Salt to taste
Cut off the thick stems 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.
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 to the pan, packing it down a bit if you need to with
your hand. Use a couple spatulas to lift the spinach and turn it over in
the pan so that you coat more of it with the olive oil and garlic. Do this
a couple of times. Cover the pan and cook for 1 minute. Uncover and
turn the spinach over again. Cover the pan and cook for an additional
minute.
After 2 minutes of covered cooking the spinach should be completely
wilted. Remove from heat. Drain any excess moisture from the pan.
Add a little more olive oil, sprinkle with salt to taste. Serve
immediately.
