Cooked Spinach

Selecting Spinach

Look for a deep, rich color, unbroken leaves and no wilting. Keep unwashed until ready to use because moisture will speed decay.

 

Directions

  1. SpinachWhen ready to eat, swish spinach in a container of cold water. Be sure to change the water several times - spinach can hold a lot of soil and debris.

  2. Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  3. Cook spinach in olive oil just until it begins to wilt.

  4. Remove from heat.

  5. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve.
