- Sautéed spinach is a special and healthy dish. Thanks to its magnesium, spinach isn't just safe for people with diabetes — it can actually help bring blood sugar down toward normal. Its vitamins, trace minerals, and dietary fiber also make it a good choice for anyone watching their weight or simply wanting to stay slim and healthy. Fresh spinach is best for this recipe, but if it's winter and none is available, frozen works too — the flavor barely changes. Rinse fresh spinach under running water and dry it on a rack or in the open air, then chop it finely. Peel and chop the garlic. Skip the garlic press here — it's better to leave the garlic in small pieces you can taste in the finished dish; they'll release their bite and aroma but leave only a pleasant finish. Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet, add the butter, and wait for it to melt completely without burning. Once the butter is ready, add the garlic and stir with a spatula until evenly cooked. When that irresistible aroma starts filling the kitchen, add the chopped spinach. Sauté, stirring, until it wilts and deepens in color, about 5 minutes. When it's done, add salt, pepper, and the dried herbs, and mix well. The spinach is ready to serve. Sautéed spinach is a great low-calorie side for meat and fish, especially grilled. As a snack any time of day, it fills you up and gives you the nutrients you need without extra calories going to your waistline. Enjoy!
