We find that the kids are more likely to eat spinach when it's chopped and not "stringy." Their word. Not ours.

Recipe information

Ingredients

Olive oil
2 garlic cloves, halved
4 large bunches fresh spinach
Pinch of salt
Half a lemon

  1. Step 1

    Heat some olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic; swirl for 1 minute, just until fragrant.

    Step 3

    When the spinach has wilted, transfer it to a platter, and squeeze the juice from lemon over it.
