Here’s their Lemony Sauteed Spinach recipe. Quick and easy and oh, so delicious.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 to 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

  • Zest of half a lemon

  • 10 ounces spinach leaves (8 to 10 cups)

  • Pinch sea salt

  • Pinch crushed red pepper flakes, optional

Directions:

  1. Add olive oil, garlic and the lemon zest to a wide skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until the oil is bubbling around the garlic, about 30 seconds. Pile the spinach leaves into the pan and add a generous pinch of salt. Wait about 30 seconds or until the bottom layer of leaves have started to wilt, and then toss the leaves around the pan. As the spinach cooks, keep tossing so that all the leaves have a chance to hit the bottom of the skillet.

  2. When the spinach looks bright green and is mostly wilted, remove the pan from the heat and serve with a pinch of extra salt on top. For a little heat, add a light sprinkle of red pepper flakes (optional).

Enjoy!
