Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 ounces fresh cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, rinsed and patted dry
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or thyme, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Clean and slice the mushrooms evenly to ensure uniform cooking. Rinse the spinach thoroughly and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
  2. Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter. Heat until shimmering or melted to create the perfect sautéing base.
  3. Sauté Mushrooms: Add mushrooms in a single layer. Cook without stirring too often for 5-7 minutes, allowing them to brown and develop deep caramelized flavors.
  4. Add Garlic and Spinach: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the spinach and gently stir until it wilts and becomes tender, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Season and Finish: Season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs if using. Stir once more to combine all flavors, then remove from heat immediately to maintain vibrancy.

Notes

  • Dry mushrooms thoroughly to avoid steaming instead of sautéing.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook mushrooms in batches if needed for proper browning.
  • Use medium-high heat to help caramelize mushrooms without making them soggy.
  • Season in layers by salting mushrooms early and again at the end for balanced flavor.
  • Serve immediately to keep the spinach fresh and bright.
