Ingredients
- 8 cups fresh spinach
- 12 ounces cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons cracked black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and pat it dry. Set it aside.
Step 2
Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms into thin, even pieces.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Step 6
Add the spinach to the skillet in batches, allowing it to wilt slightly before adding more. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Season the mixture with sea salt, cracked black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir well to combine.
Step 8
Continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the spinach is fully wilted and the flavors are well combined.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the spinach and mushrooms to a serving dish.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own for a light, healthy option.
