As I have mentioned before, a simple healthy green vegetable is almost always a welcome addition to a dinner menu. I absolutely love greens, and good old fashioned spinach is one of my favorites. And nothing could be tastier or easier to prepare than this recipe. I actually make this recipe quite often, not only because it’s delicious, but because it takes me no time to assemble the ingredients and cook up at the last minute. (I’m lazy, remember!)

So if you too want to cook healthy, but not spend hours in the kitchen, this is the veggie side dish you have dreamed about. I thank you, Popeye thanks you, and I’m sure your family will thank you too!

• 1 tsp. sesame oil
• 1 tsp. vegetable oil
• 2 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced
• tiniest pinch crushed red pepper flakes, opt.
• 10 oz. bag of pre-washed fresh baby spinach
• 1 T. Tamari (or more to taste)

Heat vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper flakes; cook briefly. Add spinach and cook until mostly wilted. Add soy sauce to taste and continue cooking just until the spinach has completely wilted. Adjust seasoning and serve immediately.
