- 2 cups white or cremini mushrooms
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until wilted. Remove the mushroom-spinach mixture from the skillet and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of vegetable broth to a boil. Remove from heat, add the couscous, cover with a lid, and let sit for 5 minutes.
Fluff the cooked couscous with a fork and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir in the cooked mushroom-spinach mixture.
Add the crumbled feta cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the couscous mixture. Toss gently to combine.
Serve warm as a main or side dish. Enjoy!
