• VEGETARIAN

Ingredients

1. 1 small navel orange
2. 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3. 1 garlic clove, minced
4. 1 pound fresh spinach, stemmed
5. Salt and freshly ground pepper

1. Using a knife, peel the orange, removing all the white pith. Cut between the membranes to release the segments; halve them crosswise.
2. Melt the butter in a medium nonreactive saucepan. Add the garlic and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach and toss to coat. Cover and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Drain off any liquid and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the orange segments and serve.
