We all know we need to eat our Fruits and Vegetables each day and for me I like to find ways to enjoy them, not just check them off a list like a hated chore. Tonight I made a real simple 8 minute side dish of Sauted Garlic Spinach. This is a great dish to make on a summer night because you don't have to turn on your oven and it is a real quick cook on the stove.
Garlic Spinach: Serves 2-3
8oz Fresh Spinach
2-3 Garlic Cloves - Minced
2tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Rinse your spinach in a colander and give it a couple good shakes to get a lot of the water off. If you have a salad spinner this would be a great tool to use.
Once the spinach is rinsed, place the olive oil and garlic in a large saute pan and heat over medium heat for a minute allowing the garlic to become fragrant but making sure it doesn't burn. Add the spinach, salt & pepper and toss to coat with the oil. Add a lid to the pan and let it cook for 2-3 minutes. Take the lid off and stir again - the spinach should be starting to wilt at this point. Let the spinach continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until it is sufficiently wilted.
Drain, Serve & Enjoy!
