The Story

A wide pan matters. If the spinach steams in a crowded pot, it collapses before it sautés and the texture is gone.

Heat a wide pan, then add the olive oil, butter, shallot, and garlic confit.

2

When fragrant, add the spinach and toss until just wilted.

3

Season with salt and black pepper and serve immediately.

Jason's Notes

Spinach cooks in a blink, which is why it gets overworked so often. The goal is glossy leaves with a little butter and garlic, not a dark wet pile.
