Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter

• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
• 1 teaspoon hot paprika
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic

• 1 tablespoon sweet Jamaican pepper sauce (such as Pickapeppa Sauce ®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Melt butter in a skillet with a lid over medium heat. Add shallots, basil, and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in paprika and black pepper; season with salt. Add spinach, mushrooms, and bell pepper, stir a few times, cover with lid, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until spinach and mushrooms give up their liquid and peppers are softened, about 4 minutes.

Step 2

Uncover the skillet. Add pepper sauce and balsamic vinegar. Increase the heat to medium, and let mixture cook down and thicken slightly, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Spoon hot mushroom mixture onto split hoagie roll. Serve immediately.
