Add all the spinach, the salt, and pepper to the pot, toss it with the garlic and oil, cover the pot, and cook it for 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest spinach possible. Fresh spinach will have vibrant green leaves that are not wilted or bruised. If you can, buy organic spinach to avoid pesticides.
  • Wash the spinach thoroughly. Before you cook the spinach, be sure to wash it thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. You can do this by swishing the spinach around in a bowl of cold water, or by running it under cold water in a colander.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. Spinach cooks very quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become limp and mushy. About 3 minutes is usually sufficient.
  • Garlic confit adds a delicious flavor. Garlic confit is a great way to add a rich, savory flavor to your sautéed spinach. You can make your own garlic confit or you can buy it from the store.
  • Season to taste. Be sure to season the spinach to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine vinegar.

Conclusion:

Sautéed spinach is a quick, easy, and delicious side dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner.
