Vegetable oil is often cheaper and can be used for sautéing.

Heat a skillet over low to medium heat.

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and swirl it around to coat the pan.

Add 1/2 chopped shallot to the skillet and cook for 2 to 4 minutes until translucent and soft.

Stir occasionally and keep an eye on the shallots as they cook.

After about 2 minutes, the shallots should smell nutty and be slightly golden.

Add the 10 oz bag of baby spinach to the skillet in batches, allowing it to wilt down before adding more.

Toss the spinach with the shallots using tongs or a spatula until fully wilted and mixed together.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, starting with a pinch of each and adjusting as desired.

If there is excess water from the spinach, let it drip over the pan before plating.

Plate the sautéed spinach with shallots and serve.
