Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound mushrooms button, cremini, or a mix, sliced
  • 5 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese optional

Method
 

Prepare the Ingredients:
  1. Wash and slice the mushrooms, ensuring they are dry before cooking to avoid sogginess. Rinse the spinach and pat it dry.
Heat the Oil:
  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Cook the Mushrooms:
  1. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in an even layer. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to develop a golden crust. Stir occasionally and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until tender and browned.
Add the Spinach:
  1. Toss the fresh spinach into the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir gently and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach wilts.
Season and Finish:
  1. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Add a splash of lemon juice for a bright, tangy flavor.
Serve Immediately:
  1. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if you like. Enjoy warm as a side dish or light meal.

Notes

  • Mushroom Selection: Use your favorite mushrooms—button, cremini, or even shiitake work wonderfully in this recipe.
  • Customization: Add fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for extra flavor, or toss in a handful of nuts for a crunchy texture.
  • Make-Ahead Option: While best served fresh, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat for the best texture.
  • Serving Suggestions: Pair with grilled chicken, steak, or pasta for a complete meal.
