Zesty Garlicky Sautéed Spinach

Fresh spinach cooks down fast, but it does not have to disappear into the background. Zesty and lemon garlic, toasted pine nuts, and a little finishing oil turn this original quick-cook side into a glossy, bright green skillet that feels as good beside salmon as it does next to a weeknight roast chicken.

Method
 

  1. Warm Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Zesty Garlic and Lemon Zest Garlic and stir for 20 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add spinach by the handful, tossing as it wilts. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes; cook only until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Transfer to a warm serving dish and finish with pine nuts and lemon zest.

Notes

Time: 15 min
Kitchen tip: Spinach releases water quickly, so use a wide hot skillet and avoid crowding it for the brightest, least watery result.
