    1/4 tsp

    1 tbsp
  • lemon (1/2 juiced, 1/2 cut into 4 wedges)

Directions

Directions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
