Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams wild mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, oyster, or chanterelle)
- 150 grams baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Clean the wild mushrooms with a damp paper towel and trim the stems if necessary. Slice larger mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt and combine with the oil.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to allow the mushrooms to sear rather than steam. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until browned on one side.
Stir the mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes until evenly browned and softened.
Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the baby spinach. Toss the spinach with the mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Season the dish with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir to combine and adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with grated parmesan cheese, if desired.
Serve immediately as a side dish or over toasted bread for a light meal.
