Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 sausages Italian or chorizo
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 350 g fresh spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • pinch of salt
  • grated parmesan cheese optional

Instructions
 

  • Start by adding the oil to a large pan and heat it on medium-high heat.
    1 tbsp olive oil
  • Next, prep all of your ingredients. Peel the garlic, and slice the sausages into ¼ inch slices. I freeze my sausage first to make the slicing easier.
    2 cloves garlic, 2 sausages
  • Once the oil is hot, add the sliced sausage to the pan in one layer. Fry the sausage for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through. Then remove the sausage from the pan and set it aside.

  • Turn down the heat to medium-low and add the garlic and red pepper flakes for heat, if using. Sauté for 30 seconds then add the fresh spinach. Toss the spinach in the oil and garlic to coat and to make sure the garlic doesn’t burn. Keep tossing the spinach just until fully wilted. If your pan isn't large enough, you may need to add the spinach in batches.

  • Add the sausage back to the pan and toss everything together.
    2 sausages, pinch of salt
  • Remove from the pan immediately and serve. The longer the spinach sits in the hot pan the more water it will release.
