Best 3 Southern Style Spinach Recipes

SOUTHERN SAUTEED SPINACH

Steps:

• 1. In a small frypan, heat bacon grease over medium heat. Squeeze out about half of the liquid from thawed spinach. Add it to pan and add all other ingredients on top. Stir to combine well, and sautee while stirring frequently until spinach is hot. Turn heat to low and simmer a few minutes until liquid is gone.

GARLIC SAUTEED SPINACH

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.
