Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound of fresh spinach washed and de-stemmed
  • 1 sweet vidalia onion cut "julienne"(long skinny slices)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves of crushed garlic
  • 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • Saute the julienned onions in the olive oil in a regular sized skillet. I do this over a higher heat- maybe an 8-ish.
  • Once the onions are good and browned on the edges, add the fresh spinach. This spinach cooks REALLY fast. And turn it frequently. It will look like your pan will overflow, but I promise it won't. It cooks down like nothing you've ever seen before.
  • Once it's basically wilted, turn the stove off and add the garlic, lemon juice, cheese, salt and pepper.
  • Keep turning that spinach, and serve immediately.
