Instant Spinach

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 2

Ingredients

1 pound spinach leaves, preferably Savoy, tough stems removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Pile the spinach in a large bowl that will fit into your microwave oven. Cook it in the microwave on high power for 25 to 30 seconds, until it is just warm but not wilted. Toss the spinach with the oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook for 30 to 60 seconds, until the spinach is wilted and its volume has reduced by less than half. It will be hot but not so cooked that it starts to throw off liquid.
