Recipe: Sautéed Spinach

Yes, yes, I know, I'm a lax blog author, but I really don't want to begin 30% of my posts with an apology, so I'm not going to. So there.

No, indeed, I have not the time for an apology, because I'm here to post a recipe which I hath invented this very eve!

Wild garlic in some nice part of the world. Be quiet, it's not random, it's pretty.

Braised Spinach*

Cook Time: 5-10 minutes

Serves Two

Ingredients

1 clove of garlic, minced

1/2 an onion, chopped

Olive Oil

About 1 1/2 cups chopped spinach, fresh or frozen

1 tsp lemon juice

Salt and pepper

Optional: Red pepper flakes or cooked corn

Directions

Heat a little oil (about a teaspoon or two) in a pot. Sauté onions and garlic until soft and golden. Add spinach and lemon juice, and cook until spinach is wilted. Salt and pepper generously. Garnish with red pepper flakes if desired. This is also nice with corn mixed in.

*No, this is not technically braised, but doesn't braised sound better than plain old "sautéed spinach"?

Au revoir, my readers.
