BASIC: HOW TO COOK SPINACH.

 Spinach is so healthy and you can add it to anything. Their are no rules here, if you want spinach in your meal toss a handful in.... that's it.   And it really easy to cook down.  Believe me you can't go wrong with having spinach as a side dish.  
There are no cups or times here all you have to do is watch what you are cooking.  
I put a bunch of spinach in a large pan and added two table spoons of olive oil.  ( If you use less as half the olive oil) 
Turn the burner to Medium High and stir, a leaf or two might fall out, just add them back in.   
As you stir it the leaves will start to wilt down.



 Wilt down a lot.   When your spinach looks like this turn the burner down to medium low and keep stirring.  
Notice how you can see the leaves still, keep stirring and cooking until you can't see each individual leaf.







This is what cooked spinach looks like.  I spread is out, in the above picture it's piled up a bit.   The spinach should have a nice even green color with not light uncooked leaves showing.

This is great for a fast meal, with potatoes and sausage.
