Equipment

  • Large skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • Zest of 1 small lemon and 1 tbsp juice, more juice if desired
  • 1 (6 oz) bag baby spinach
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp toasted pine nuts
  • 1-2 tbsp feta cheese

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, until tender and golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, zest the lemon and set it aside. Squeeze 1 tablespoon of lemon juice into the skillet, then add the spinach in big handfuls, tossing constantly with tongs for a minute or so until all the leaves are just wilted.
  • Remove from the heat. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, and toss to coat evenly.
  • Add the pine nuts, feta, and lemon zest. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
  • Side Note: Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, watching carefully so they don't burn.
