This is a regular at our house. We love it...including my kids! Taking off from my wife's traditional way of doing greens and combining it with a little something I learned from an African friend of ours, I ended up with a dish that is cheap, quick, very tasty and pretty healthy - a big win! Note: we used to use a little bacon grease to start, but now we just use olive oil - much healthier that way.

Ingredients For sautéed spinach

    olive oil, extra virgin (or bacon, goose or duck fat)
  • 1 lg
    bag frozen spinach leaves
  • 1-2 pinch
    kosher salt
  • 4-5 dash
    onion powder

  • 1-2 tsp
    vinegar (white or apple cider)
  • 2-3 dash
    hot sauce (we use franks)

How To Make sautéed spinach

  • 1
    Heat oil (or bacon grease, duck or goose fat) in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet (or non-stick pan) over medium heat.
  • 2
    When hot, dump fresh or frozen spinach in skillet - it may sizzle a bit. If using frozen spinach, try to break up any large chunks.
  • 3
    Sprinkle on salt and onion powder. Stir often.
  • 4
    Add liquid smoke, vinegar and hot sauce. (adjust to taste)
  • 5
    Cover for a minute or two if needed to fully thaw any remaining frozen pieces and steam a little bit.
  • 6
    Remove cover (if applicable) and stir in butter.
  • 7
    Serve hot and enjoy!
