Garlic Sauteed Spinach and Mushrooms ~ Simple and Earthy
Spinach truly is a wonder food. You can do so much with it, from making it a topping, to a side dish, breakfast to dinner. Not to mention, it’s pretty easy to grow in a backyard garden. If you don’t have space in your yard, it’s also easy to get at the supermarket, and pretty inexpensive. Full of great vitamins and minerals, Garlic Sauteed Spinach and Mushrooms is a great addition to your everyday diet.
More Spinach Makes More Garlic Sauteed Spinach and Mushrooms
One of the interesting quirks about spinach is how much it reduces, just by steaming it. I always make twice the Garlic Sauteed Spinach and Mushrooms than what I think I’m going to need just so I have enough. I’ve been known to make ridiculous amounts of spinach just to make sure I have what I need, plus a little extra for omelettes the next day.
What Makes Garlic Sauteed Spinach and Mushrooms Amazing
Starting with fresh garlic ensures maximum flavor in Garlic Sauteed Spinach and Mushrooms. Baby bella mushrooms bring in even more earthiness, and sauteed with the garlic, they pull in much of the subtle undertones of the garlic that are sometimes missed. Of course, fresh baby spinach gives the dish not only part of the dish’s name, but also its body and delicious flavor. It’s a great way to bring greens into your diet in a flavorful, healthy way.
Ingredients
- 2 bags spinach, rinsed and shook dry
