Lemon-Steamed Spinach

This is such a simple concept -- just add olive oil and lemon zest to the spinach before you steam it so that it mixes well. Very important notes that make a huge difference:

1. Wash the spinach really well, especially if you buy it as picked produce instead of in a bag. To wash it well, rinse in a colander, and then soak in a bowl or sink of cool water while the dirt sinks, and pick up the spinach by hand out of the water.
2. Drain the spinach really really well before serving this. If not, the spinach water just messes up the other dish.
