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)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the wild mushrooms with a damp paper towel and trim the stems if necessary. Slice larger mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Stir the mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes until evenly browned and softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and add the baby spinach. Toss the spinach with the mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.

Step 7

Season the dish with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir to combine and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with grated parmesan cheese, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a side dish or over toasted bread for a light meal.
