Description

This fried spinach is cooked quickly on the stovetop with oil, butter, and lots of garlic for a simple side dish that can go with almost anything.

Ingredients

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup canola oil
2 (10 ounce) bags fresh spinach leaves
8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

Directions

1 Melt butter with oil in a large skillet over medium heat until mixture stops bubbling. (This allows water in the butter to evaporate.) Add garlic; cook and stir until it begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Add spinach; cook and stir until leaves are dark and about 1/4 of their original size, about 5 minutes.
