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.
Ingredients
Method
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
