Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Trim away tough stems and drain excess water.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil once hot and shimmering.
  3. Sauté 1 clove of minced garlic for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly until fragrant and golden, ensuring not to burn it.
  4. Add the prepared spinach to the skillet and allow it to wilt without stirring for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Stir the spinach occasionally as it cooks for an additional 3-5 minutes until fully wilted and well-coated in garlic oil.
  6. Remove from heat, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and serve.
