Planning ahead: mushroom sauce with spinach

#easyfoodcreations #healthyeating

I started planning meals for the first two weeks of January as my work schedule is completely crazy then and I know that finding even 20 min to prepare a meal is a luxury that I might not be able to afford on many days. During these days I want to make sure we have something healthy on hand, ready in a few minutes, so we do not need to resort to packaged food that we try to avoid as much as possible.

I made a batch of mushroom sauce with spinach, which can be served with potatoes, kasha, barley, pasta, or kopytka, to add some variety.

Ingredients:
680g fresh mushrooms
100g fresh spinach, you add more or less
1 onion, chopped finely
2-4 garlic cloves
4 tbsp butter
2 tbsp dried thyme
1 tbsp dried majoram
3-4 tbsp whipping cream (you can use soft goat cheese instead)
1-2 tbsp lemon juice
Salt, pepper

1. Melt the butter and cook onion and garlic on a low heat for about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add finely chopped mushrooms and spinach, cook for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
3. Add remaining ingredients, lower the heat to 1.8 and cook for another 40 minutes.
4. Enjoy!
