Ingredients
  

16 oz (450 g) mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and button), cleaned and sliced

3 cups fresh spinach, thoroughly washed and roughly chopped

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional for extra flavor)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by cleaning the mushrooms under running water and slicing them into even pieces. Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly, then coarsely chop them. Lastly, mince the garlic cloves finely to enhance their flavor when sautéed.

    Heat the Olive Oil: Place a large skillet over medium heat and pour in the olive oil. Allow it to warm up for about a minute, ensuring the oil is hot but not smoking.

      Sauté the Mushrooms: Carefully add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single, even layer. Let them cook undisturbed for approximately 5 minutes, allowing them to develop a lovely golden-brown color. Stir occasionally to promote even cooking and prevent sticking.

        Add Garlic and Seasoning: After the mushrooms have browned, introduce the minced garlic to the skillet. Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until the garlic becomes aromatic, being cautious not to let it burn.

          Incorporate the Spinach: Add the roughly chopped spinach to the mushroom mixture. Gently stir and cook for about 2-3 minutes, frequently stirring until the spinach wilts and becomes tender.

            Finish with Balsamic Vinegar: If desired, drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the sautéed vegetables and stir thoroughly to combine. Allow it to cook for another minute, which will help deepen the flavors.

              Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sautéed mushrooms and spinach to a serving dish. Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness before serving.
