Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms
- 6 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
1. Prepare the ingredients: Thinly slice the yellow onion, mince the garlic, and slice the mushrooms into even pieces.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
3. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onions. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to caramelize.
4. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
5. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown.
6. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, allowing it to wilt before adding more. Toss the spinach with the onions and mushrooms to combine evenly.
7. Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes over the mixture. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
8. Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle with lemon juice. Give everything one final stir.
9. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or over grains like rice or quinoa.
