This recipe was a side dish at a restraunt we ate at. I ate so much I couldn't finish my salmon. The spinach is not cooked so the flavor is very fresh. Since finding this recipe we have gone through 5 pounds of spinach!! (in 2 weeks)

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (24 ounce) bag baby spinach
1 1/2 lemons, juice of
4-6 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
2 1/2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1
In large pot, add olive oil, butter, garlic and the juice of 1/2 lemon. (you may adjust olive oil/butter/lemon to your liking).
2
Let cook over low heat for about 20 minutes so the flavors meld.
3
Take off heat, add spinach, toss well and serve.

I was looking for a simple way to fix my spinach and this was it. I halved the recipe since I can't get anyone else to eat spinach. Loved the lemon and garlic flavors!

Really, really good! I halved the EVOO and butter and increased the garlic. I also kept it on the stovetop to warm it all up. YUMMY!

Oh my! This was terrific! I halved the butter, lemon and olive oil, kept the garlic as written. It was just superb! Using the full amount of fats would have been too oily for my taste and more than 2 T of lemon juice would have been too overpowering. This is definitely going to the top of my favorite spinach recipes. Thank you sooo much.

I appreciate this recipe because the spinach doesn't have to be cooked. The lemon was a bit much for me and I thought it took away from the garlic flavor, so next time I will use 1/2 of the lemon juice. Thanks for the recipe!
