  1. Fill a large pot (about 3-litre) with water and bring it to a rolling boil.
  2. While the water heats, press or finely chop the garlic and leave it to stand for at least 5 minutes.
  3. Rinse the spinach thoroughly.
  4. Once the water is boiling vigorously, add the spinach to the pot. Do not cover. Cook for exactly 1 minute, starting the timer as soon as the spinach goes in – do not wait for the water to return to the boil.
  5. After 1 minute, lift the spinach out with a handled mesh strainer. Press with a fork to squeeze out excess liquid. The spinach should be tender, bright green, and not mushy.
  6. Transfer to a bowl and, while still hot, toss with the remaining ingredients. Cut the spinach into small pieces before serving.
