Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     side-dish

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds baby spinach leaves
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped garlic (6 cloves)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Lemon
Sea or kosher salt, optional

Steps:

  • Rinse the spinach well in cold water to make sure it's very clean. Spin it dry in a salad spinner, leaving just a little water clinging to the leaves.
  • In a very large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and saute the garlic over medium heat for about 1 minute, but not until it's browned. Add all the spinach, the salt, and pepper to the pot, toss it with the garlic and oil, cover the pot, and cook it for 2 minutes. Uncover the pot, turn the heat on high, and cook the spinach for another minute, stirring with a wooden spoon, until all the spinach is wilted. Using a slotted spoon, lift the spinach to a serving bowl and top with the butter, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkling of sea or kosher salt. Serve hot.

  • Use a large skillet: This will allow the spinach to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming overcrowded.
  • Heat the skillet over medium-high heat: This will help to quickly cook the spinach and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Add the spinach to the skillet in batches: This will help to prevent the spinach from steaming instead of sautéing.
  • Stir the spinach constantly: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the spinach from burning.
  • Cook the spinach until it is just wilted: Overcooked spinach will become tough and bitter.
  • Season the spinach with salt and pepper to taste: You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or red pepper flakes.
  • Serve the spinach immediately: Sautéed spinach is best served fresh.
