I bought the big bag of spinach at the local big box store today. I reheated the leftover beef roast from the other night along with some steamed then fried red potatoes for dinner tonight. One of the things I do to vary the idea of “leftovers” is to vary the side dishes rather than repeat the same dang dinner a few nights later. So earlier we’d had roast, rice, and carrots. Tonight we had roast, red potatoes, and sauteed spinach.
Sauteed Spinach
Ingredients
- 1 pound spinach I guess
- 1/4 cup or less of olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- red pepper flakes
- juice of one lemon
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the spinach and then cook it over medium heat, covered for a minute or so, until wilted.
- Drain and squeeze dry.
- Heat the oil in the same pan and add the garlic and cook a minute. Add the spinach, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and salt. Stir periodically until blended and the spinach is cooked.
