Mushroom and Spinach Side Dish

Recipe #240038 | 15 min | 5 min prep | add private note

This side dish makes four servings; it's perfect to keep in your fridge to add to stir-fries or pasta dishes. Use as many different mushrooms as you can find, especially the healthier varieties like shiitake, enoki and oyster mushrooms. The dried porcini or cepes really add a lot of flavor. You'll find them in little packages near the produce stands. This recipe was a Dr Weils Recipe of the day !

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    If you're using porcini mushrooms, put them in a dish with enough hot water to barely cover and let them soak for about 20 minutes.
  2. 2
    Wash and slice the fresh mushrooms and remove any tough stems.
  3. 3
    In a large pan with a cover, heat the oil and sauté the mushrooms, including the soaked porcini and the soaking liquid.
  4. 4
    Stir well, cover and cook gently for 5 minutes.
  5. 5
    Stir in the garlic and herb blend, cover and cook for another 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  6. 6
    Add the baby spinach leaves to the mushroom mix. Stir to wilt them briefly, and the dish is ready to serve, or to store in the fridge for later use. You may want to add salt and pepper to taste but most people find it's not necessary.

Wow!! This was delicious. Both my partner and I agreed that the fresh spinach was superior to both canned and frozen spinach. Wonderful, healthy side dish that only made two servings for the two of us (yea, we liked it that much). Served with balsamic vinegar on the side (which also helps with absorption of the iron in the spinach). Also used McCormich Grill Seasoning for the herb salt. Thanks!

    Mushrooms... spinach! What's not to like! We had this for dinner the other night using spinach from our garden. We will definitely fix this again. Thank you so much for a tasty recipe! I just happened to have dried Porcini on hand, and olive oil and garlic keep use happy and healthy. It was wonderful. Thank you. We will make this again. Made for Spring 2008 PAC.

    Loved this dish. My husband just loves anything with mushrooms in it. I did cut back on the garlic as he was heading into work. My local supermarket didn't have dried porcini, so I used chantrelles. Came together very quickly and is one of those perfect side dishes.

    I was too tired and lazy to make a main dish, and ended up eating this as the whole meal. Tasted yummy. (Wouldn't recommend making it the whole meal to anyone though--it sat kinda heavy as the only thing in my stomach.) I didn't have herb-seasoned salt on hand, so I used ~1/4+ t salt and 3/4 t of an herb blend that was in the cupboard. Next time I have mushroom-lovers over for dinner, I'll probably make this as part of the meal.
