This vibrant dish features a medley of fresh vegetables, expertly sautéed to bring out their natural flavors and tender textures. Earthy mushrooms and sweet carrots are gently cooked alongside aromatic onions, then combined with wilted spinach. A light seasoning of soy sauce and a hint of red pepper flakes complements the vegetables, creating a balanced and savory side dish. The cooking method ensures each component retains its distinct character while harmonizing into a cohesive and satisfying offering.

Ingredients

  • * 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • * 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • * 2 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced on the bias
  • * 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • * 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • * 10 ounces fresh spinach
  • * 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • * 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • * 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • * Salt to taste
  • * Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add sliced onions and carrots to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the carrots begin to soften and the onions are translucent.
  3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and continue to sauté for another 3-5 minutes, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.
  4. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  5. Gradually add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring constantly. The spinach will wilt down quickly. Continue to cook until all the spinach has wilted.
  6. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss all the vegetables together to coat evenly.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

* For added protein, consider adding cooked edamame or chickpeas during the last few minutes of cooking.

* Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your preferred level of spice.

* This dish can be prepared with other leafy greens like kale or Swiss chard for variation.

* Ensure your skillet is large enough to accommodate all the spinach, as it reduces significantly in volume.
