Simple Garlic Spinach

One of the sisters in our ward taught us how to make this, and it was so good! I am not a fan of cooked spinach, but this was delicious. I would recommend even adding some nuts (like hazelnuts, walnuts, or pistachios) for some extra zing and crunch!

Simple Garlic Spinach

1. A bag or two of pre-washed spinach leaves.
2. Smash 2 or 3 cloves of garlic.
3. Put a few teaspoons of olive oil in a large pan (frying pan or wok work best) on high heat.
4. Add garlic till you can smell it and then salt.
5. Add garlic; stir and cook on high to med heat until wilted (just a few minutes).

NOTE: Non-spinach lovers might love this spinach.
