Ingredients

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Wash the greens thoroughly, remove the stems, and cut into strips of 4 cm.

Step 2

Take a large skillet or saucepan of salted water. Bring to a boil. Add the fresh greens to the water and hold for 4 minutes. Remove the blanched greens with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge into ice water to stop the color change. Remove with a slotted spoon, let drain, and set aside.

Step 3

Slice the garlic into paper-thin slices. Heat the oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until the garlic is golden around the edges, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the garlic from the skillet with a small slotted spoon. Set aside.

Step 4

Increase the heat under the skillet with the oil to high. Add the greens and cook for 5 minutes. Add the spinach, season with salt, and add the red pepper. Cook until the spinach wilts, stirring (about 1 minute). Add the garlic and mix. Serve hot or at room temperature.
