Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by washing and trimming your mushrooms, slice them into thick pieces, and clean the spinach leaves.
In a large skillet, heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer and sauté for 3-4 minutes undisturbed.
Stir and continue cooking mushrooms for another 5-7 minutes until softened and golden brown.
Stir in minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Gradually add cleaned spinach using tongs and sauté until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper, drizzle lemon juice, and toss gently to combine.
Remove from heat and serve immediately as a side or topping for meals.
