INGREDIENT NOTES:
SPINACH:
- It is the leafy ingredient in the recipe that gets soft quickly. We use spinach to include green color and a mild earthy taste to the recipe. Utilize frozen spinach as another choice.
MUSHROOMS:
- They include savory and rich taste in the dish. Mushrooms give a meaty texture in the dish without adding animal products. You may use baby bella mushrooms as an alternative.
OLIVE OIL:
- Olive oil helps the mushrooms brown well and keeps the vegetables from sticking to the pan. It spreads the garlic taste in the dish. You may use canola oil as another idea.
LEMON JUICE:
- It makes the dish bright and maintains the earthy mushroom taste. You may use lime juice as another option.
RED PEPPER FLAKES:
- They give heat to the recipe and make the dish flavorful. You may use chopped fresh chili as a replacement.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, wash the spinach and mushrooms, then dry them well.
- Cut the mushrooms into equal slices and mince the garlic.
- Warm the large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
- Cook the mushroom slices for 5 minutes and stir occasionally to make the pieces lightly golden.
