1 1/2 pounds baby spinach leaves
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped garlic (6 cloves)

Steps:

  • Rinse the spinach well in cold water to make sure it's very clean. Spin it dry in a salad spinner, leaving just a little water clinging to the leaves.

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. Uncover the pot, turn the heat on high, and cook the spinach for another minute, stirring with a wooden spoon, until all the spinach is wilted. Using a slotted spoon, lift the spinach to a serving bowl and top with the butter, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkling of sea or kosher salt. Serve hot.

SAUTEED SPINACH WITH GARLIC



Sauteed Spinach with Garlic image

Sauteed spinach accented with garlic makes an excellent side dish for meaty main dishes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Quick & Easy Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise
2 pounds fresh spinach, washed and leaves damp
Olive-oil cooking spray
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic to paper towels; reserve. Discard oil.
  • Spray pan with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat. Coarsely chop the spinach and stalks. Working in batches, add the damp spinach to the pan. Cover, and cook until spinach just begins to wilt, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked spinach to a metal bowl, and cook the remaining spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the reserved garlic over spinach, and serve warm with a wedge of fresh lemon.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture.
  • Wash the spinach thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit.
  • If you don't have brown butter on hand, you can easily make your own by melting unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat and cooking it until it turns a light brown color and smells nutty.
  • Use a large skillet or sauté pan so that the spinach has plenty of room to wilt.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan with spinach. Cook it in batches if necessary.
  • Season the spinach to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Serve the spinach immediately as a side dish or use it as a filling for omelets, pasta dishes, or quiches.

Conclusion:

Spinach sauté with brown butter and garlic is a quick and easy side dish that is packed with flavor. It is a great way to use up fresh spinach and is a healthy and delicious addition to any meal.
