Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups fresh spinach
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Clean the spinach thoroughly and set aside to drain.
Wipe the cremini mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel and slice them thinly.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and release their juices.
Season the mushrooms with a pinch of salt and black pepper as they cook.
Add the spinach to the skillet a handful at a time, allowing it to wilt before adding more.
Once all the spinach has been added and is wilted, stir well to combine with the mushrooms. Season with additional salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach is tender and heated through.
Remove from heat and serve immediately as a side dish or over rice, pasta, or alongside your favorite protein.
