Spinach is lean and clean, so try adding cheese or something else rich to round it out. The little bit of spice from the red pepper and a hint of garlic combined with the richness of the almonds and Parmesan makes this a tasty side dish with a quick cooking time.

Food Safety Instruction
DIRECTIONS
- Heat oil in large skillet on medium heat. Pierce garlic with the tines of a fork. When oil begins to smoke lightly, add Fisher® Almonds and stir with the fork 30 seconds or until lightly browned. (This gives a subtle garlic flavor.) Discard garlic.
- Gradually add handfuls of spinach to pan, adding more as it wilts. Add salt and pepper. Stir until spinach is completely cooked. Stir in cheese and lemon juice. Season to taste with additional lemon juice.
