RECIPE + REMEDY
Plate of Spinach and Garlic

Feeling sick or tired?

This quick spinach side dish provides an iron-heavy energy boost with a healthy dose of garlic!

You will need: 1 cup of washed spinach leaves, 1 tablespoon of canola oil, and 2-3 cloves of garlic (about 1 tablespoon), salt and pepper to taste.

  1. Peel and cut the garlic into thin slices. 
  2. Add the oil to a pan on medium low heat. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic slices and stir to prevent overcooking.
  3. When the garlic is golden brown on both sides, strain the oil mixture through a slotted spoon and set garlic aside.
  4. Turn off the heat and let the spinach warm in the cooling pan, stirring gently -- this keeps the spinach from overcooking!
  5. When the spinach leaves are soft, spoon them onto a plate and add your crispy garlic slices plus any salt or pepper. Enjoy!
