Serves 2 – 3
Ingredients:
1 large bag of spinach (pre-cleaned and dry)
Olive Oil
2 cloves of garlic, cleaned and diced
1 lemon, cut into quarters with seeds removed
Salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper
Directions:
In a large saute pan, add a few tablespoons of olive oil and diced garlic and cook for 1 minute over medium high heat.
Add spinach leaves and a bit more olive oil if necessary. Toss the spinach so that the leaves cook evenly, about 2 minutes. Add salt, pepper, cayenne pepper to taste.
Once cooked, squeeze juice from lemon then serve immediately.
Helpful Hints:
A large bag of spinach wilts down to a very small amount. A good rule of thumb is one large bag per two people.
