Sautéed Spinach, Baby Zucchini and Mushrooms

Sauteed Spinach and Zucchini | My Halal Kitchen

The season in between spring and summer is the time to make the best use of delicious veggies- spinach, baby zucchini, fingerling potatoes, and white button mushrooms. Fortunately for us, they all go so well together in flavor profiles, too. Try this saute recipe over rice or pasta. We even had the leftovers stuffed in pita halves with melted cheese. Ah-mazing…

 Brown the ingredients well- that’s what makes this dish so tasty.

add the spinach last, though. It will give the dish some moisture and, of course, an additional flavor profile

Sautéed Spinach, Baby Zucchini and Mushrooms

Serves 2-4

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1 cup fingerling potatoes, diced

1/2 pound baby zucchini squash (or regular squash), sliced in half lengthwise

1 pound button mushrooms, sliced

sea salt, to taste

freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 pound fresh spinach greens

2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil

Directions

Heat butter over medium flame in a skillet or sauté pan. When the butter froths, add the oil. Once warmed, add the diced potatoes.

Add the cut squash and brown on each side, about three minutes each. Once browned, add the mushrooms, salt and pepper. Brown for a few minutes.

Add the fresh spinach and wait a few minutes for it to cook down before covering with a lid. Check on it once by opening the lid and adding the freshly chopped basil. Cover again and finish cooking, for a total cooking time of about ten minutes.

Serve over rice, noodles or in a sandwich.
