Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced about 1 tablespoon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Equipment

  • Crockpot Express

Method
 

  1. Wash spinach well. Use a salad spinner or kitchen towel to fully remove liquid from spinach leaves. Trim off any large stems on the spinach.
  2. Set the Crockpot Express to Saute, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add in the garlic and saute for 1 minute - watch that you don't burn it!
  3. Add spinach, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to pan and toss the spinach to coat with the oil.
  4. Continue to saute for 1-2 minutes, until spinach is wilted.
  5. Remove from heat and drain off excess liquid off sauteed spinach if desired. Do this by placing sauteed spinach in a fine mesh colander and gently pushing down with a wooden spoon.
