Ingredients
  • 1 pound mushrooms (white or cremini, sliced thinly)
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter unsalted (omit butter for vegan version)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 green onions chopped
  • 10 oz spinach fresh
  • 2 cups quinoa cooked
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil optional
  • salt
Instructions
  1. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and garlic and saute over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until mushrooms get soft and acquire a nice, golden-brown color. Add chopped green onions and mix. Season with salt.
  2. Add fresh spinach to the skillet, reduce heat to low, cover the skillet with the lid and let mushrooms and spinach cook for about 1 minute or less, just until spinach begins to wilt. Add 2 cups of cooked quinoa to the skillet and cook on low heat for another minute until spinach wilts even more and quinoa warms up. Season with salt, if needed. Add another tablespoon of olive oil, if desired.

    I loved this dish, and how easy it could be made vegan. It also seems flexible. I used leeks instead of scallions, added a splash of soy sauce before adding greens (mixed “power greens”), and a chiffonade of basil at the end. My wife tolerated it, and when I mentioned that it would be great over mashed potatoes, she quipped “it would be great with a side of french fries.” I will make this again. Thanks for posting it. It’s more 4.5 than 4, but I couldn’t figure out how to make a half star.
