Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large bunches of spinach or a 10 ounce box of baby spinach
  • 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • About 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Spinach: If using bunched spinach that is not pre-washed, wash it thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. It’s fine if the spinach leaves remain a bit wet before cooking, as moisture helps in the sautéing process.
  2. Heat Oil and Garlic: Warm the ghee or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped garlic and sauté for about one minute, taking care not to brown it to avoid bitterness.
  3. Add Spinach: Toss the spinach into the pan and stir continuously for about one to two minutes until the spinach is just wilted but still vibrant and tender.
  4. Season: Sprinkle salt according to your taste preferences and toss to combine evenly.
  5. Finish with Lemon Juice: Remove the pan from heat, drizzle about a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice over the spinach, and stir gently to mix. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.

Notes

  • Use baby spinach for quicker cooking and a tender texture.
  • Ghee imparts a richer flavor while olive oil keeps it lighter.
  • Do not overcook spinach to preserve nutrients and bright color.
  • Adjust garlic quantity according to your flavor preference.
  • Lemon juice enhances the taste and adds a refreshing tang.
