Pappadeaux Spinach Recipe

The key is using fresh baby spinach and sautéing it quickly to retain its vibrant color and nutrients. Garlic and shallots add depth, while a squeeze of lemon brightens the flavors. For best results, don’t overcook the spinach – it should be just wilted but still retain some texture. You can easily customize this recipe by adding crushed red pepper flakes for heat or toasted pine nuts for crunch. Pair it with grilled fish or chicken for a complete meal that rivals any restaurant dish.
