Espinacas y Naranjas (Spinach and Oranges)
Experience a refreshing twist that melds earthy greens with zesty citrus tonight!
Begin by washing the spinach thoroughly under cold water. Drain it well and set it aside.
Peel the oranges, then segment them by cutting between the membranes to release the juicy sections. Set aside.
In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
Once the garlic is fragrant, add the washed spinach to the pan. Sauté it for approximately 4-5 minutes until wilted. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Season the spinach with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.
Remove the pan from heat and gently fold in the orange segments. Be careful not to break them.
For added crunch, sprinkle 50 grams of sliced almonds on top to finish off the dish.
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
