Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 thinly sliced garlic cloves, and 1 thinly sliced strip of lemon zest in a large Dutch oven or skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is just beginning to turn golden around the edges, 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Step 2.
Add the large bunch of spinach (thick stems removed) to the pot. Season with ¼ teaspoon each kosher salt and pepper. Cook, tossing often with tongs, until the spinach begins to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Step 3.
Remove the pot from the heat and continue to toss the spinach until all leaves are just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve immediately.
