How to Make Spinach Like You Have Never Had

  1. Wash and thoroughly drain 1 bunch of spinach. Separate the leaves from the stems, shredding the leaves and chopping the stems separately.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 1/2 medium onion (chopped) and 2 cloves garlic (minced) and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 4 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled). Cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Add 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon curry powder. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add the chopped spinach stems to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add the shredded spinach leaves, stir, cover, and steam for 2-5 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and tender to your liking. Adjust cooking time based on spinach type and desired tenderness.
  7. Serve as a side dish, add fried eggs for a hearty breakfast, or top with crumbled cheese for a satisfying lunch.
