Quick Spinach Stir Fry With Lemon Juice

Cook Food Mood's Note:

I remember how I used to order this at a tiny pizza joint in Frankfurt. A definite winner given that I hate veggies in general... well, except for this light and easy spinach stir fry I tried to mimic from the family run pizza place! Great as a side dish, accompanied by perhaps a healthy grilled fish! Do also take note that spinach tends to shrink when heated, so you may like to add more to the pan!

Really good tasty spinach in minutes! I prefer not to chop my spinach up small, and it didn't matter in this recipe. I made 1/3 recipe (because the 4 cups of prewashed spinach in the bag was plenty for me by myself), and all of it fit on the salad plate as photographed. I tried it first without the lemon juice, but the splash of lemon juice transformed the taste, just as Bergy said. Then I added some grated Parmesan cheese; that was nice, but did not add that much to the taste. A dieter's delight! Thanks for posting Cook Food Mood. Made for Healthy Choices.

That touch of lemon makes a big difference. I did the spinach in my wok, stir fried it for about 1 minute - just enough to wilt it and heat it through Mmm the garlic aroma Thanks for another touch to my spinach fix. Popeye would be proud of you
