Quick Garlic Spinach

2 tsp olive oil
2 cloves chopped garlic (or equivalent from a jar)
1/2 lb fresh spinach

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the garlic and stir until the garlic is slightly browned. (About 1 minute.)
Add the spinach and stir for two to three minutes. As you stir, be sure to move the spinach from the bottom to the top, so that all the spinach spends time on the bottom in the oil and garlic mixture.
Continue to cook and stir until all the garlic is wilted and slightly darker brown in color than when you put it in the pot. It should still be somewhat crisp-tender, not completely cooked.
Serve warm.

This recipe makes a side portion for two servings. Too cook additional servings, add more olive oil and more garlic to the same pan after removing the spinach mixture, and repeat the process.
