Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients.
- In a large skillet preheat your oil until it shimmers or a drop of water flicked in it dances, over medium to medium high heat.
- Add sliced mushrooms first as they require the longest to cook. Once they are all in give the mushrooms a stir.
- After a few minutes add carrots and onions. Stir some more.
- Saute for 3 or 4 more minutes. If using regular spinach add it now.
- Vegetables should be tender.
- Add fresh tomatoes, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.
- Last, add garlic, canned tomatoes and baby spinach. Stir for another 30 seconds or so until baby spinach is wilted.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and place skillet contents in a serving dish. Spinach will continue to wilt if left on the heat.
- Add lemon juice or balsamic vinegar, if using. Toss vegetables gently to blend.
- Serve immediately.
- Enjoy every bite.
Notes
- This recipe is written as if you were going to be including every vegetable with your sauteed spinach. I am hoping you don't mind skipping over the vegetables you DON'T want to include and carry on with the recipe as you like.
