How to Make Spinach Sautéed in Garlic and Oil
This “recipe” is so simple, but it’s an easy, healthful and tasty way to cook fresh spinach. Vegetables of any kind—cauliflower, broccoli, peppers, potatoes and/or green beans—can be blanched until just tender, and prepared the same way.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Heat the oil over high heat in a very large skillet until very hot. Add the spinach (you may need to work in batches) and cook, stirring, for about 1-2 minutes; the spinach should turn bright green and wilt slightly. Add the garlic and red chile flakes and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic begins to release its aroma, approximately 30 seconds.
- Remove the spinach from the heat, and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to combine, and serve with lemon on the side (for squeezing juice over the spinach).
