Sauteed Spinach with Garlic

Barefoot Beachcomber's Note:

This is so good, and easy. Any greens would do, but spinach is my favourite. My grandmother used escarole and my mother uses swiss chard.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but I had to try this recipe. It was really good and so simple to make. I bought a bag of spinach, gave it a quick rinse, and started cooking. Done this way, I would say that this recipe takes even less time than Penny! lists. This is an easy recipe that I will definetely use again. Thanks!

Perfection on a plate. I could of easily eaten the whole thing myself, but held off. Healthy, lovely, and easy to make, plus! the presentation is just like a photo! Stunning....and the taste, well....you need to check this out for yourself. I wilted my fresh spinach, added the fresh garlic, a sprinkle of coarse sea salt granules, and the rest....history.

This was fantastic, even my son's friend loved it and he absolutely hates spinach. I served this with my shrimp scampi and it all disappeared.
