Steps
If using bunched spinach that is not pre-washed wash it very well – it often has quite a bit of loose dirt lingering on the leaves. It’s okay if the spinach is a little wet before you start cooking.
Heat olive oil or ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for just one minute, being careful not to let the garlic brown. Garlic that browns too quickly will taste bitter.
Add spinach to the pan and toss continuously until it is just barely wilted – for about a minute or two.
Season to taste with salt.
Finish with lemon juice and serve immediately!
