1 Heat the oil in a large high-sided skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the garlic and break it up with a spatula. Add the tomatoes and salt and stir to combine. Cover tightly with a lid, and cook until the tomatoes have collapsed and released their juices, 3 to 5 minutes.
2 Stir the beans and water into the tomato mixture. Cover and simmer until the beans are warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.
3 Add the spinach to the beans a big handful at a time, stirring and allowing each addition to wilt before adding more. Turn the heat off and add the lemon juice and pepper. Add more salt if needed. Serve hot. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
