By akselden

Ingredients

• SAUTE IN 2 T. OLIVE OIL:
• 1 lb. spinach, stemmed (about 16 loosely packed cups)
• 3-4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 1/4 t. crushed red pepper flak,
• ADD AND SAUTE:
• Wilted spinach

• Balsamic vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Wilt spinach in boiling water. Add it all at once, stir, and drain immediately in a colander-do not let spinach sit in the water. Press as much liquid from it as possible, forming it into a disk.

2. To saute, heat oil in a large saute pan over med.-high heat. Add garlic and pepper flakes; saute until garlic turns golden, about 1 minute. Stir constantly.

3. Add the disk of spinach and break it up with a Wooden spoon, stirring to coat with oil and garlic. Cook just until heated through, about 1 min. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer spinach to a serving platter.

4. Drizzle spinach with balsamic vinegar before serving
