Sauteed Mushrooms And Spinach

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 12 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 8 ounces baby spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Heat Skillet & Fats

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet.

Sear the Mushrooms

Once the butter has melted, arrange 12 ounces of sliced mushrooms in a single layer.

Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon table salt. Let the mushrooms cook without stirring for 3 minutes, allowing them to develop a golden crust.

Brown the Second Side

Flip the mushrooms and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, stirring minimally, until the mushrooms are evenly browned.

Wilt the Spinach

Lower the heat to medium-low. Add 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, along with an extra splash of olive oil if the pan appears dry.

Add half of the 8 ounces of baby spinach, cover the skillet, and let it cook for 30 seconds. Stir the spinach, then add the remaining spinach and cover again for another 30 seconds, cooking until wilted.

Season and Serve

Stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of table salt and 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. Toss everything to combine well, and serve immediately.
