"One of our favorite appetizers at a local restaurant is made with white beans and escarole. It's nearly impossible to find escarole where we live, so we subbed in baby spinach and were pleasantly surprised by the result. Enjoy!" Patrick and Helen Reddy - Wilmington, North Carolina

SAUTEED BABY SPINACH WITH GARLIC, MUSHROOMS AND BEANS



Sauteed Baby Spinach With Garlic, Mushrooms and Beans image

This is one of my favorite, feel good meals. It's quick, healthy and delicious. I usually use cannellini beans, but any beans are good - garbanzos, navy beans, black beans. I just think the white beans look nice. All amounts are approximate. This is a very flexible recipe. Add more garlic, less garlic, Just remember that the spinach will shrink down even more than you might expect it too - so I use plenty of spinach. I like this as a vegetarian lunch, but it would be good as a side dish as well.
