Wilted spinach is an easy and delicious side dish. All it requires is a bunch of fresh spinach, some garlic, butter and a saute pan. This recipe serves 4.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Trim the spinach leaves from the stems and discard the stems.
Step2
Slice the garlic into slivers as thin as a dime.
Step3
Heat a large saute pan over medium heat for 30 seconds.
Step4
Add the butter and, when half of it has melted, add the garlic.
Step5
Cook, stirring constantly, for about 45 seconds or until the garlic is tender and fragrant.
Step6
Add the spinach leaves, and season with salt and pepper.
Step7
Use tongs or a spatula to stir the spinach so it cooks evenly.
Step8
Remove from heat when all spinach leaves have wilted.

Tips & Warnings

  • Wash the spinach in several changes of very cold water. Keep washing until all traces of sand and dirt are gone.
  • Turn the spinach over as it cooks so cooked leaves closest to the pan are replaced with raw leaves.
  • Be ready for the spinach to lose a great deal of volume as it cooks.
  • Keep heat on medium so you don't brown the garlic.
