The Best Spinach Recipe

My partner once hated spinach, and I have converted him to the cult of fresh cooked spinach. You are also welcome to join.

At some point I’ll get a better photo but this is all I have right now.

Ingredients

• Three handfuls of cut fresh spinach
• Two handful of cut fresh basil
• Diced garlic (3 cloves)
• Thinly sliced onions, about 1/4 C
• One whole lemon, cut into halves
• Johnny’s Fine Seasoning Salt (not optional)
• Black Pepper (to taste)
• Fennel Seed (2–3 TB or to taste)
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Goat Cheese (optional)

Methodology

If you have a dutch oven for this, use it, otherwise get a big ### saucepan. Remember if you are cooking a dinner, this should be cooked last since it takes about two minutes. Note: There is no substitute for Johnny’s Seasoning Salt.

1. Put the heat of your stove burner on medium, add about 2 TB of olive oil
2. Add the Garlic, Onion, Black Pepper, and Johnny’ and squeeze one half of the lemon.
3. Sautee those ingredients until you can smell the onions are carmelizing in the pan
4. Add the spinache and basil in layers, spinach, basil, spinach, etc
