Ingredients

• 250 grams Shiitake mushrooms
• 3 units Garlic cloves
• 2 units Shallots
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 120 grams Baby spinach (or mixed greens)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the shiitake mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove and discard the stems, then slice the caps into thin strips.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the shallots.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Swirl to combine and coat the skillet's surface.

Step 5

Once the butter has melted and starts to bubble, add the sliced shallots. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, stirring to prevent burning.

Step 7

Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Stir everything together and let the mushrooms cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden brown.

Step 8

While the mushrooms are cooking, divide the baby spinach (or mixed greens) evenly between two serving plates.

Step 9

Once the mushrooms are cooked and fragrant, add the lemon juice to the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 30 seconds to deglaze the pan and enhance the flavors.

Step 10

Spoon the warm mushroom mixture over the greens on each plate, allowing the heat from the mushrooms to slightly wilt the greens.

Step 11

Optional: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of fresh flavor and color.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy!
