Spinach and Shrooms

 

Ingredients

• Fresh mushrooms, sliced - 300 grams (8oz == ~225g)
• Fresh spinach - 100 grams
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Olive oil - 30 ml (2 tablespoons)
• Jack Daniel's whiskey - 60 ml (1/4 cup)
• Butter - 15 grams (1 tablespoon)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: A pinch of red pepper flakes for heat

Directions

1. Prep the Ingredients: Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them. Wash the spinach and drain it well.
2. Sauté the Mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté them until they are golden brown and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Garlic and Seasonings: Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. If you like a bit of heat, add the red pepper flakes at this stage.
4. Deglaze with Jack Daniel's: Pour in the Jack Daniel's whiskey to deglaze the pan. Allow it to cook for a couple of minutes until the alcohol mostly evaporates, leaving a flavorful glaze.
5. Wilt the Spinach: Add the spinach to the skillet. Cook while stirring until the spinach wilts, which should take about 2-3 minutes. If your skillet isn't large enough, add the spinach in batches.
6. Final Touches: Stir in the butter until it's melted and coats the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
