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.

Stir-fried Spinach with Garlic image

"Spinach has often been regarded with disdain in the west, probably because it is usually overcooked. This is a delicious, time-honored, southern Chinese recipe. The spinach is quickly stir-fried and then seasoned. It is very simple to prepare." Ken Hom from CHINESE COOKING. (We halved this recipe last night and enjoyed it hot with Mr. Hom's FISH IN HOT AND SOUR SAUCE. Wonderful!)

Tips:

- Use fresh spinach leaves for the best flavor and texture. - If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry. - Use a large skillet or wok so that the spinach has plenty of room to wilt. - Heat the oil over medium-high heat before adding the spinach. This will help to prevent the spinach from sticking to the pan. - Add the garlic and ginger to the oil and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. - Add the spinach and cook, stirring constantly, until it is wilted and tender, about 2 minutes. - Season the spinach with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. - Serve the spinach immediately as a side dish or main course.
