Ingredients:

2 tbsp salted butter
27g
1/2 cup onion
80g
1 garlic clove
3g
1 cup spinach
30g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic clove.
- Wash and dry the spinach leaves thoroughly.
2. Heat the Pan:
- Place a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons of salted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
3. Sauté the Onion:
- 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.
4. Add the Garlic:
- 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.
5. Cook the Spinach:
- 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.
6. Combine and Season:
- Mix the spinach thoroughly with the sautéed onions and garlic.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired.
7. Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Transfer the sautéed spinach and onion medley to a serving dish.
8. Enjoy:
- 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 with Garlic and Olive Oil 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.
