Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 ounces baby spinach
1 to 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium saute pan or skillet (not nonstick) over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes (do not let the garlic brown). Push the garlic off to the side of the pan and add the mushrooms. Increase the heat to medium high and season the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are cooked through and begin to become golden in spots, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Add the spinach, sprinkle with an additional pinch of salt and turn with tongs until wilted. (If you can't fit all the spinach in the pan, cover it for a few minutes, then uncover, stir and add the rest.) Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with the vinegar and serve warm.

MY FAVORITE SPINACH PINWHEELS



My Favorite Spinach Pinwheels image

Necessity is the mother of invention. I always have spices and herbs on hand but never have mixes. Lots of recipes for Spinach Pinwheels calls for ranch mix and such. These are also purely vegetarian as there is no bacon or bacon bits included. The best part is these can be prepared the night before and make great presentation at your next get-together! Enjoy.

Time 1h55m

Yield 12 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 cups finely chopped mushrooms (your choice-portobella is good)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 -2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (may use 1/2 cup whole wheat flour to replace 1/2 cup white flour)
1 (3/4 ounce) envelope fast rising yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup sesame seeds

Steps:

  • To make Mushroom Filling:.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add mushrooms; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, garlic salt and black pepper. Remove from heat; drain any excess liquid. Let cool.
  • Combine 2/3 cup flour, undissolved yeast and salt. Heat water, milk and olive oil until very warm (120º to130ºF). Gradually add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
  • Roll dough to 16 x 9-inch rectangle. Spread evenly with Mushroom Filling, then sprinkle with cheese. Beginning at long end, roll up tightly as for jelly roll. Pinch seam to seal. Mix egg white with water; brush on all sides of dough. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cut into 12 equal portions. Place, cut sides up, on greased baking sheet. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Bake at 375ºF for 20 to 25 minutes or until done. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture.
  • Squeeze the spinach dry before using it in the filling to prevent the pinwheels from becoming soggy.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the spinach and mushrooms by hand.
  • Be sure to cook the mushrooms until they are soft and browned.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the pinwheels so that they have clean edges.
  • Bake the pinwheels until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the pinwheels warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Spinach and mushroom pinwheels are a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
