Fried spinach is a unique and healthy dish. Due to its magnesium content, spinach is not only acceptable for use by people suffering from diabetes, but also helps to reduce sugar levels to normal. The additional content of vitamins, trace elements and dietary fiber allows you to include it in the menu for overweight people and just those who want to keep their body slim and healthy.

For cooking according to this recipe, it is better to take fresh spinach, but if it is winter outside and this is not on sale, you can use frozen. The taste of the dish will change slightly from this.

Fresh spinach is washed under running water, dried on a grate or just in the fresh air. Finely chop. Garlic is cleaned and chopped. It is not necessary to use a garlic press in this recipe, it is better if the pieces are felt in the finished dish. They will already give off sharpness and flavor, leaving only a pleasant aftertaste.

Heat up a frying pan with a thick bottom, add butter and wait until it completely melts, but does not start to burn. As soon as the oil is ready, add the garlic, stir with a spatula until evenly fried. When a unique appetizing aroma began to spread through the kitchen, we add chopped spinach leaves to the pan. Stirring, fry them until they wither and change color to a darker one.

The frying process takes about 5 minutes, as soon as it is completed, add salt, pepper, dry herbs and mix well. Spinach is ready, you can serve it to the table. Fried spinach is an excellent low-calorie side dish for meat and fish dishes, especially if they are cooked on the grill. Using it as an independent snack at any time of the day will allow you to get enough and get the necessary amount of nutrients without extra calories and the result on the sides.

Bon appetit!
