Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by washing and slicing about 8 ounces of cremini or button mushrooms, ensuring even thickness for consistent cooking.
  2. In a large skillet, pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place it over medium heat. Allow the oil to heat until shimmering.
  3. Carefully add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer, making sure they have enough space for browning. Let them cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Once your mushrooms are beautifully browned, toss in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  5. Gradually add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, gently tossing with the mushrooms and garlic.
  6. Finally, sprinkle salt and pepper to taste over your dish and drizzle the fresh lemon juice on top.

Make sure mushrooms are in a single layer to prevent steaming. Fresh garlic is crucial for flavor. A splash of fresh lemon juice at the end adds brightness.
