spinach with garlicSpinach can be tricky yet simple to cook. Cook it too long and it can lose its beautiful, vibrant green color. Add too much water and it can be soggy and taste water-logged. With this simple recipe, I've found a quick and easy way to get greens into your diet quickly and often.

Serves 4
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt to taste
1 pound fresh spinach, cleaned and roughly chopped
1 Tbsp minced fresh garlic or 1 clove roasted garlic
1/2 of a fresh lemon

Heat oil in large saute pain.
Add salt in the pan to avoid any sticking. Add spinach.
Move spinach around with tongs and turn to avoid any burning. Add the garlic.
Cover the lid, reduce heat and cook for 10-12 minutes. The steam inside will help to cook it thoroughly.
Remove the lid and turn spinach a few more times.
Remove from heat and serve with fresh lemon juice squeezed on top.
