# Ingredients:
→ Main ingredients
01 -
Packed fresh spinach, 4 cups
02 -
1 pound of mixed, cremini, or button mushrooms—slice them up
03 -
2 tablespoons of olive oil
04 -
4 minced cloves of fresh garlic
05 -
1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
06 -
Salt and black pepper—adjust as needed
→ Optional garnishes
07 -
Chopped fresh parsley
08 -
A pinch of red pepper flakes
# Instructions:
01 -
Rinse your mushrooms well and dry them off with a towel. Slice them into similar-sized pieces for even cooking. Wash and set aside your spinach. Mince the garlic while also squeezing some lemon juice to have it ready.
02 -
Place a large skillet on medium heat and pour in the olive oil to get it ready for the mushrooms.
03 -
Toss your sliced mushrooms into the skillet. Give them 5-7 minutes, stirring here and there. Let them turn golden and soft.
04 -
Once the mushrooms are nearly done, stir in the minced garlic. Let it cook for a short 1-2 minutes while stirring, so it releases its smell but doesn't burn.
05 -
Throw the fresh spinach into the skillet and mix it gently with the mushrooms and garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice. Toss everything one last time and it's ready to serve.
# Notes:
01 -
Cremini mushrooms give a stronger flavor, but any kind works fine
02 -
Expect the spinach to shrink a lot while cooking
03 -
Go for freshly minced garlic instead of pre-chopped—it tastes way better
