Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic clove.
- Wash and dry the spinach leaves thoroughly.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons of salted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
- Once the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the chopped onion to the skillet.
- Sauté the onion for about 3-4 minutes, or until it becomes translucent and starts to soften.
- Stirring constantly, add the minced garlic to the skillet.
- Continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
- Add the cup of fresh spinach to the skillet.
- Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach wilts and reduces in size.
- Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Mix the spinach thoroughly with the sautéed onions and garlic.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired.
- Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Transfer the sautéed spinach and onion medley to a serving dish.
- Serve immediately, either as a side dish or a topping for your favorite main course.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. Baby spinach works well and cooks quickly.
- Chop the onions and garlic finely to ensure even cooking and a balanced distribution of flavors.
- Keep the heat at medium to medium-high to avoid burning the garlic, which can turn bitter if overcooked.
- Consider adding a splash of lemon juice or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, as the spinach can become soggy if left to sit.
- Feel free to experiment with additional herbs like thyme or rosemary for added complexity.
This Sautéed Spinach and Onion Medley is a simple yet flavorful dish that's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're looking for a nutritious side dish or a light meal, this recipe is sure to please your taste buds.
