Ingredients

  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms (cremini or button), sliced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, or 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add sliced mushrooms and cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to brown.
  3. Stir and cook for another 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are tender and golden.
  4. Add garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add spinach and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Season with salt, black pepper, and any optional additions like lemon juice or chili flakes.
  7. Serve warm directly from the pan.

Notes

  • Don’t stir mushrooms too early to allow them to brown properly.
  • Thaw and drain frozen spinach well if using in place of fresh.
  • Try variations with soy sauce, feta, onions, or a splash of cream for different flavor profiles.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
  • Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the spinach.
