This is a simple, no fuss way to make Spinach that is quick, tasty and brings out the best in the vegetable. Not boiled to death. Not excessively greasy. Tasty and retains some crispness with great flavor. -
I used this recipe to make sauteed arugula and it turned out well. Now i know know you have to turn off the heat and let the residual heat cook it thru in order for the greens not to turn brown. Thank you. -
I made as directed, and this was just perfect for two. I added some red pepper flakes for spice, but really it was wonderful as written. Thanks. -
A great way to use up spinach! I used 1 T oil and 1 T butter and added some red pepper flakes. Thanks for sharing! -
