TIPS FOR GARLIC SAUTÉED SPINACH

  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic for a hint of spice while sautéing.
  • Avoid overcooking the spinach to retain its vibrant green colour and nutritional value.
  • If you prefer a citrusy note, squeeze a little lemon juice over the spinach before serving.

VARIATIONS

  • Add a handful of sliced mushrooms or cherry tomatoes for extra flavour and texture.
  • For a nutty twist, sprinkle some toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds over the spinach before serving.
  • Stir in a tablespoon of grated Parmesan for a richer taste if you are not adhering to a vegan diet.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat.
  • Freezer: Avoid freezing, as thawing will alter the texture of the spinach.
