Keto Sauteed Spinach
Keto Sautéed Spinach, besides being real good it is also real good for you. And, it fits right in with a Keto diet.
A little tradition of ours – we like to have it instead of a salad with our Date Night Filet Mignon. And we really like it so much that it is often our go to veggie for a weeknight dinner.
Today’s Tip: Solutions for too much salt.
If you went overboard with the salt and your sauce or soup taste like it came outta the ocean. And if you have time before serving it. Cut a whole potato into quarters and add it to the mix. Simmer and stir a few times and taste as you go. It will become a lot less salty as the potato cooks. If you don’t have any time left and it’s time to serve it up, add some acid. Either lemon juice or vinegar. Stir and taste as you add it in small doses. And to keep the over salting from happening don’t put all of the salt that the recipe calls for when you start. Put in about a third of the amount and taste as the dish cooks. Adding a little bit at time as it cooks.
The ingredients
2 Servings – The number of servings can be changed in the recipe card found below this post. Changing the amount of servings on the recipe card will automatically change the amounts of the ingredients.
- 3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic chopped
- 1/2lemon
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 6 oz. bag pre-cleaned baby spinach
Here is your Keto Sauteed Spinach How To
Put the widest skillet that you own on medium low heat and add enough good extra virgin olive oil to lightly cover the bottom. (you can drizzle it in and “eyeball it”). While it’s heating up chop up (or grate) as many garlic cloves as you are in the mood for and add them to the pan. Squeeze in the lemon juice. A pinch each of salt and black pepper. A pinch of crushed red pepper (optional), We like it because it jazzes things up a little. Sauté the garlic until it just barely starts to get brown around the edges.
Don’t add the spinach until the rest of your meal is on the plates, ready to serve. Have a pancake flipper ready and start tossing it all, getting the garlic and spinach mixed together. The spinach is going to wilt real quick so be ready to portion it out to the plates when it is as wilted down to how you like it. We like it just barely softened up.
Divvy your Keto Sautéed Spinach up on the plates and enjoy!
