4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Method 3 Steps

1

Place the fresh spinach in a wok-style pan and heat while stirring. The spinach will quickly wilt and release its water. Once sufficiently wilted, remove from the heat, set aside, and squeeze out most of the water, leaving some moisture for this recipe.
2

Drain any remaining water from the pan, wipe dry with kitchen paper, return to medium-high heat, add the olive oil, and fry the chopped garlic until lightly golden. Immediately add the spinach, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and sauté for about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then transfer to a serving platter and top with the crispy onions (prepared before or after).
3

To make crispy fried onions, place the onion slices in a colander and lightly dust with flour. Fry immediately in hot oil until golden and crispy. Drain on kitchen paper before topping the spinach.
