Ingredients:

Serving

1 medium garlic clove, chopped
3 tbsp well-stirred tahini (middle eastern sesame paste)
1 1/2 to 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (to taste)
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup water
15 oz loosely packed baby spinach (24 cups)
2 tsp sesame seeds (optional), toasted

Directions:

Blend together garlic, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and 1/4 cup water in a blender until smooth.

Add spinach in handfuls, tossing with tongs, and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes.
Drain spinach in a large sieve set over a bowl, pressing to extract any excess liquid.
