Lemon-Thyme Spinach
A generous amount of lemon zest adds a touch of brightness to sauteed spinach.
Ingredients
-
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
-
4 teaspoons coarsely chopped fresh thyme
-
2 teaspoons lightly packed finely grated lemon zest
-
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
-
Kosher salt
-
2 pounds stemmed spinach (from 2-1/2 pound bagged spinach or 5 pound bunched spinach)
Directions
1.
In a small bowl, combine the butter, thyme, lemon zest, garlic, and a generous pinch of salt and mash with a fork or spoon until well blended.
2.
Put several large handfuls of the spinach in a 12-inch nonstick stir-fry or saute pan. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Turn the heat to medium high and cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach is mostly wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add another few handfuls of spinach and another 1/2 teaspoon salt, and continue to cook, tossing, until wilted. Repeat until all of the spinach is wilted. Turn off the heat, but leave the pan on the burner. Add the butter mixture and toss just until it melts and coats the spinach. Season to taste with salt and serve immediately.
