Notes
- If spinach is not pre-cleaned, cleaning may take additional 15 minutes. Look for packaged baby spinach for quicker results.
- If using regular large leaves, wash them thoroughly and dry them before adding them to the pan. Use a salad spinner to dry the leaves quickly.
- Spinach shrinks too much in size. Be sure what quantity you need.
- Also, add lesser salt as the quantity reduces while cooking. This might turn the dish too salty.
