Preparation

Step 1

In a very large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and butter to medium heat.

Saute the garlic over medium heat for about 1 minute, but not until it's browned.

Add all the spinach, the salt, and pepper to the pot, toss it with the garlic and oil, cover the pot, and cook it for 2 minutes.

Uncover the pot, turn the heat on high, and cook the spinach for another minute, stirring with a wooden spoon, until all the spinach is wilted.

Using a slotted spoon, lift the spinach to a serving bowl and top with a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkling of sea or kosher salt.

Serve hot.
