Ingredients

• 1 small onion, chopped
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• ½ cup white wine
• 14 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 10 ounces clean fresh spinach, roughly chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic in the oil until they start to become tender. Add the mushrooms, and fry until they begin to shrink, about 3 to 4 minutes. Toss in the spinach, and fry, stirring constantly for a few minutes, or until spinach is wilted.

Step 2

Add the vinegar, stirring constantly until it is absorbed, then stir in the white wine. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until the wine has almost completely absorbed. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve hot.
