Simple Steamed Spinach with Lemon, Butter + Flaky Salt
It really is amazing how eating seasonally can help transform you into a better cook. When you have superior ingredients, you don’t need much. This is sort of my mantra when cooking for myself and others. Steamed spinach is an amazingly easy, healthy and delicious weeknight side dish.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 2-3 servings as a side dish
Ingredients:
1 Pound of Spinach, washed
1/4 Cup Water
To Serve:
Flaky Maldon Sea Salt
Half of 1 Lemon
Pat of Butter
Directions:
Pile spinach into a large skillet with a lid. Pour water in and cover.
Turn the heat on to medium, and gently steam until the leaves are just wilted - about 3-4 minutes. Do not overcook the spinach. You want it to still have some texture.
Gently squeeze out water in a colander, and place spinach on serving dish. Sprinkle flaky salt, squeeze half a lemon on top, and place pat of butter on top.
