Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups fresh spinach
- 2 cups cremini mushrooms (sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the spinach thoroughly under cold water and drain well. Pat dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
Slice the cremini mushrooms into thin, even pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the butter and allow it to melt.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown.
Gradually add the spinach to the skillet in batches, allowing it to wilt slightly before adding more. This should take about 3–4 minutes.
Once all the spinach is wilted, season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Optional: Drizzle with lemon juice for a bright, fresh finish.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sautéed spinach and mushrooms to a serving dish. Serve immediately.
