Tips:

  • Choose fresh spinach: Look for spinach leaves that are deep green and crisp. Avoid leaves that are wilted or yellow.
  • Wash the spinach thoroughly: Rinse the spinach leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Be sure to dry the leaves thoroughly before cooking.
  • Use a large skillet: Spinach will wilt down significantly when cooked, so it's important to use a large skillet to prevent overcrowding.
  • Cook the spinach over medium heat: High heat will cause the spinach to wilt too quickly and become tough. Medium heat will allow the spinach to cook evenly and retain its nutrients.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach only takes a few minutes to cook. Overcooking will make it mushy and bland.
  • Season the spinach to taste: Spinach has a mild flavor, so it's important to season it well. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice are all great options.
  • Serve the spinach immediately: Spinach is best served immediately after it's cooked. Leftover spinach can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Spinach with lemon garlic is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals, and it's also low in calories and fat. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give spinach with lemon garlic a try.
