Easy Sautéed Spinach

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds baby spinach leaves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons chopped garlic (6 cloves)
• 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 Lemon

Directions:

1. Rinse the spinach well in cold water to make sure it's very clean. Spin it dry in a salad spinner, leaving just a little water clinging to the leaves.
2. In a very large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and saute the garlic over medium heat for about 1 minute, but not until it's browned. Add all the spinach, pepper to the pot, toss it with the garlic and oil, cover the pot, and cook it for 2 minutes.
3. Uncover the pot, turn the heat on high, and cook the spinach for another minute, stirring with a wooden spoon, until all the spinach is wilted. Using a slotted spoon, lift the spinach to a serving bowl and top with the butter, a squeeze of lemon. Serve hot. 

And for good measure, let's share a good Cabbage recipe

Slaw Sautée

Ingredients:

• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion chopped
• 1 package of coleslaw mix
• 2 Tablespoons butter, cut into 2 pieces
• Red pepper flakes

Directions:

1. Heat a 12" skillet with olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until the onion is softened about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir, cooking an additional 30 seconds.
2. Turn heat up to medium-high heat and add about 1/3 of the coleslaw mix. Stir to mix onions and garlic with the coleslaw mix. Now leave it alone and let the mix start to brown, but be careful not to let it burn. Using a spatula, turn the mix over and let other side brown slightly. Season lightly with a dash of salt.
3. Add another 1/3 of the coleslaw mix and 1 tablespoon butter. Flip mix again after a couple of minutes.
4. Finish with remaining coleslaw mix and last tablespoon of butter. Once the mix is browned to your liking, add salt to taste and pepper, if desired.
5. Remove from heat, season with red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve.
