Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Melt the butter with the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it stops bubbling. This allows the water from the butter to evaporate. Add the garlic; cook and stir for about 2 minutes until it is just beginning to brown. Put in the spinach leaves and cook for about 5 minutes while stirring until the leaves are dark and are about 1/4 of their original size.
