My favorite vegetable is sauteed spinach. I was always baffled as to why it would take 3-4 bags of spinach just to get close to having enough to serve. I wanted the spinach I had when eating out...full, bulky, and full of flavor. I have learned the secret and now can cook a large amount with only 2 bags. This is super easy to fix. Here is the secret.

How To Make sauteed spinach
-
1Get a large skillet with a lid.
-
2Add water to the skillet that is about 1/2 inch deep.
-
3Heat water at a medium high heat, just before it boils.
-
4Work in both bags of spinach into the hot water while turning the spinach with tongs. It will have to cook down a little.
-
5Cover skillet with lid for no more than 2 minutes. Do not let the spinach cook down to much. You just want warm, moist spinach at this point.
-
6Put warm spinach into a serving bowl and set aside.
-
7Drain the water left in the skillet.
-
8Now put a shallow layer of olive oil...just enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
-
9At this point your burner needs to be no higher than medium low.
-
10Add 2 cloves of minced garlic into the skillet and spread it around a bit. I like more garlic, but 2 cloves will probably be better accepted by most.
-
11Once the garlic is slightly browned you can add the spinach back into the skillet.
-
12Turn the spinach in the skillet a few times to cover all of it lightly with oil.
-
13Cover skillet with lid for 1-2 more minutes.
-
14You're done. Put the spinach back into the serving bowl and you are ready to eat.
-
15The key here is to not have the spinach over the heat for to long. Enjoy!
