Recipe 🍳

In the pan used for cooking meat (or a regular pan), add a little more olive oil, then stir-fry garlic slices and chopped onion.
When the onion becomes transparent and light brown, add a piece of butter and the prepared spinach.
Lightly season with salt and pepper, then stir-fry quickly over high heat just until the spinach wilts.
Just before turning off the heat, add a tiny splash of lemon juice for a refreshing touch.
Transfer to a plate and finish by sprinkling with grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, according to your preference.

Sauté garlic slices and chopped onion in olive oil to release aroma.
Add butter, spinach, salt, and pepper, and stir-fry quickly until wilted.
Finish by adding lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes.

Cooking tips 💡

Spinach can become mushy and watery if overcooked, so the key is to stir-fry it quickly over high heat.
Lemon juice can make the dish too sour if used excessively; add just a tiny amount to subtly cut through the richness.
