Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Step 2: Add 10 oz sliced white button mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown at the edges.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 8 cups fresh spinach, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring gently, until the spinach is wilted and tender but still vibrant green.
