Ingredients

2 pounds spinach in bulk or 2 10-ounce packages in plastic
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

Pick over spinach, discarding tough stems and blemished leaves. There should be about 20 cups of ready-to-cook spinach.
Bring enough water to boil to cover spinach when added. Add spinach and let cooking liquid return to boil. Stir down until leaves are wilted. Let simmer about 1 minute. Drain thoroughly. Run immediately under cold water until chilled. Squeeze to extract as much liquid as possible. There should be about 1 1/2 cups.
Cut mushrooms into thin slices. There should be about 2 cups.
Heat butter in saucepan and add mushroom slices. Cook about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook briefly, stirring. Add spinach, salt and pepper. Cook briefly, stirring. Serve.
