Spinach-Stuffed Mushrooms


Mushrooms are at their peak during the winter. Take advantage of their full flavor with this simple and superfast side dish. Leftovers can be stored and heated up for an afternoon snack or breakfast vegetable.

Ingredients
1/2 package (2.5 ounces) frozen, chopped spinach
Pinch of salt
2 large mushrooms
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 1/4 cup water to a boil. Add the spinach and salt. Cover, and cook according to package directions. Wash the mushrooms. Remove the stems, trim off the ends, and then chop the stems.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the chopped mushroom stems. Sauté until golden, about 3 minutes. Remove from the pan. Add the mushroom caps to the skillet and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the mushroom caps to a heatproof serving platter.

Drain the spinach. Stir in the sautéed chopped mushrooms.

Spoon the spinach mixture into the caps and serve immediately or place in the oven on low heat to keep warm. Any leftover spinach can be enjoyed as a side dish.
