If you don’t have garlic infused oil, heat the olive oil with the garlic clove in a big skillet over medium–high heat. Remove the garlic clove, add the spinach and sauté for 5 minutes or until spinach has wilted. (It is very important to remove the garlic clove before adding the ingredients, otherwhise the food will be contamined with fodmaps from the garlic)
