| 1. For the confit. | 2. Cut off and discard the root ends of the garlic cloves. Place the cloves in a small saucepan, and add enough oil to cover them by about 1 inch. None of the garlic cloves should be poking through the oil. | 3. Place the saucepan over low heat. The cloves should cook gently: very small bubbles will come up through the oil, but the bubbles should not break the surface. | 4. Adjust the heat as necessary and move the pan to one side if it is cooking too quickly. | 5. Cook the garlic for about 40 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so, until the cloves are completely tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. | 6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the garlic to cool in the oil. | 7. Refrigerate the garlic, submerged in the oil, for up to a month. | 8. For the spinach. | 9. If using large-leaf spinach, remove the thick stems and wash the leaves. Wash the baby spinach. | 10. Melt the butter in the largest skillet you have over medium-low heat. | 11. Add the shallots and sauté gently for 1 minute. | 12. Add the garlic confit and only as much spinach as will fit in the skillet, sprinkle with one-half teaspoons salt and a pinch of pepper, or to taste, and use tongs to turn the spinach in the butter. | 13. As the spinach wilts, continue to add handfuls of spinach from time to time and season additionally as needed. | 14. Do not overcook: the spinach is done when it is wilted and tender but still bright green. Serve immediately. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
