• 2 tablespoons peanut oil

• 1 tabespoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/4 cup lime juice

2. Add the spinach and stir constantly until it wilts, about a minute.

3. Add the red pepper, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic, and lime juice, and cook another 30 seconds or so, still stirring.

4. Serve immediately.

Variation: Spinach with Lime and Cilantro
Before the oil smokes, add 1 onion, peeled and diced; cook until it is soft. Raise the heat to high, brown the onion a bit, and add the spinach as above, with 1 cup minced cilantro. Omit the red pepper, sugar, and garlic; proceed as in original recipe.

Other greens to use: Chard

Note: You can make this as hot as you like, but don't omit the sugar, a "secret ingredient" that brings all the other flavors together.
