WARM MUSHROOM & WILTED SPINACH SALAD



Warm Mushroom & Wilted Spinach Salad image

Growing up we used to have a salad like this all the time, and it was about the only way I would eat spinach. Still love this combination. I think this particular recipe originated from the side of a bag of mushrooms. I have tweaked it over the years because I don't like to cook the spinach, I prefer to just toss the hot hot dressing over the spinach, which just wilts it enough without cooking it. I'm always throwing bread loaf ends into the freezer, this is a good recipe to use some of them in. Toss the final salad with cheese if you like. Beware, your house will smell like vinegar!!

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 lb fresh spinach (washed and dried)
1/4 red onion, very thinly sliced (white or sweet onion is good too)
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
3 slices whole grain bread, any nutty, grainy bread is good
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons grainy mustard
1 lb mushroom, sliced
sea salt
pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)

Steps:

  • Shred the spinach by hand into a large bowl. Add the sliced onion and red pepper to the spinach.
  • Toast the bread and then cut it into crouton style cubes. Alternatively, you could cut into cubes first and toast it in the oven so they get toasty all over. Do whichever time permits. Add to the spinach.
  • Warm the oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add in the garlic and let it cook for a few minutes, being careful not to burn. Stir in the lemon juice, the oregano, basil and mustard, and finally the mushrooms. Let the mushrooms cook for about 5-7 minutes and adjust the seasoning, adding in freshly ground pepper and a little sea salt. It should taste like hot salad dressing at this point. If you prefer it tangier, add more lemon juice or a little wine vinegar.
  • You should have enough dressing in the pan to fully coat the spinach now, but you can add another tbsp or so of olive oil if you feel like it's not enough. Just make sure it's nice and hot.
  • Toss the hot dressing over the spinach. Toss well so that the spinach wilts. Toss in the parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm & enjoy!

HEAVENLY MEATLOAF WITH BLUE CHEESE, MUSHROOMS, AND SPINACH



Heavenly Meatloaf with Blue Cheese, Mushrooms, and Spinach image

A slightly different recipe using a combination of ingredients, this meatloaf tastes absolutely divine! Instead of the usual ketchup, tomato paste, and brown sugar, this meatloaf is more of an 'upscale' version of the traditional. Best served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. This is my own personal creation! I substitute ground deer meat occasionally instead of beef, only because I have a freezer full, and it's organic!

SAUTEED SPINACH WITH RED ONION, BACON & BLUE CHEESE



Sauteed Spinach With Red Onion, Bacon & Blue Cheese image

We love this recipe, it's so good and easy to make. If making 4 servings it works better to use a Dutch oven instead of a large skillet, and add 1 to 2 minutes to the spinach-cooking time. Leave out the bacon for a vegetarian dish. The recipe comes from Eatingwell.com.
