Directions:Step 1. Caramelized onions
Heat 1 tbsp. olive oil on high heat in a large skillet, when oil is heated, add sliced onions and cook on high heat for about 10 minutes, constantly stirring with spatula. The onions should start to brown. Reduce heat to medium, continue cooking for 10, then low heat for 10 minutes until onions are evenly browned. At this point add just a pinch of salt over onions.
Remove from heat and sprinkle onions with a small amount of balsamic vinegar to deglaze the pan. Using spatula, mix the onions, scraping the bottom of the pan and coating onions with a pinch of balsamic vinegar you just added.
Step 2. Add mushrooms and spinach
While doing onions, heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in another pan and add sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook mushrooms and garlic covered for about 20 minutes, occasionally stirring.
Add cooked mushrooms to the pan with caramelized onions, add 3 cups of spinach and stir on low heat just until spinach wilts. Serve as is as a side dish or proceed to make a creamy sauce as below.
Optional Cream Sauce
Step 3. Add heavy cream, milk, Parmesan cheese and 1/4 tsp. salt to the mushroom-onions-spinach mixture on medium-low heat and mix. Stir to coat on low heat for about 5-10 minutes until Parmesan cheese melts and starts to coat the vegetables.
Serve as a side dish along grilled meats. |
