Spinach Saute

This week I am sharing one of my favorite Spinach dishes. I love this recipe because it is quick, easy, healthy & delicious! It is versatile and can be used as a side dish, vegetarian main dish, or serve as a bed for protein, such as meat or seafood. I recently made Seared Sea Scallops and placed them on top of the Spinach Sauté.



Here is what you will need:

-1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
-1 Tbsp of Butter
-1/2 White Onion, chopped
-5 Cloves of Garlic, coarsely minced
-8 oz. Shitake Mushrooms
-8 Cups of Baby Spinach Leaves
-1 Pint of Grape Tomatoes (or Cherry Tomatoes) cut in half

Directions for Spinach:

1. Heat Coconut Oil in large pan over Medium Heat until melted.

2. Add Onions & Garlic, cook until softened, approximately 5 minutes.

3. Add 1 Tbsp of butter and Shitakes, sauté until softened, approximately 5 minutes.

4. Next, add Spinach, it will be heaping in the pan, but cover and cook over medium heat. Check & stir spinach  after 2 minutes. Continue cooking with pan covered until spinach leaves have wilted, approximately 3 more minutes.

5. Uncover and add tomatoes, sauté for 1 minute & remove from heat.

6. Serve warm!
