SAUTEED BABY SPINACH WITH GARLIC, MUSHROOMS AND BEANS



Sauteed Baby Spinach With Garlic, Mushrooms and Beans image

This is one of my favorite, feel good meals. It's quick, healthy and delicious. I usually use cannellini beans, but any beans are good - garbanzos, navy beans, black beans. I just think the white beans look nice. All amounts are approximate. This is a very flexible recipe. Add more garlic, less garlic, Just remember that the spinach will shrink down even more than you might expect it too - so I use plenty of spinach. I like this as a vegetarian lunch, but it would be good as a side dish as well.

  • Wash spinach thoroughly: Before cooking, rinse spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will allow the spinach to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming overcrowded.
  • Cook spinach over medium heat: Medium heat will help to wilt the spinach quickly and evenly without burning it.
  • Stir spinach frequently: Stirring the spinach frequently will help to prevent it from sticking to the pan and will also help to distribute the heat evenly.
  • Season spinach to taste: Once the spinach is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
  • Add white beans for a protein boost: White beans are a great source of protein and fiber, and they add a creamy texture to the dish.
