Directions
-
Heat the oil in an extra-large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until it begins to lightly brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the garlic to a small dish and set aside.
-
Add the spinach to the skillet, one large handful at a time. Cook and toss with tongs until all of the spinach is just wilted, about 4 minutes. Add the lemon juice and currants, and toss to combine, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with the salt and, if using, pepper.
-
Using tongs, transfer the spinach to a serving bowl or platter. Top with the reserved garlic slices and the pine nuts, and serve with the lemon wedges.
