Simple Spiced Spinach

Finley Farms had some great bloomsbury spinach on Sunday, so I bought some to make this spicy spinach dish. It's a great side with bean dishes, and once the spinach is washed it's quick to make.

Remember, cooking greens in a little oil breaks down the cellular fibers so the nutrients are more readily available to the body.

Simple Spiced Spinach
1/2 lb spinach
1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
zest and juice of 1/2 lemon

Wash the spinach and remove any tough stems.

Warm the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cumin seeds and let heat a minute until aromatic. Add the spinach, turn up the heat, and toss the spinach in the oil. Add the lemon zest and juice, toss some more, and cook the spinach until wilted. Grind some black pepper on top, season with salt to taste, and serve.
