Tender "meaty" portobello mushrooms combined with fresh spinach, garlic, and tamari. Such an easy, satisfying side dish. Or pair it with brown rice or quinoa for a meal!
Portobello mushrooms are wonderful. They are so tender, "meaty", and nutrient-rich.
This recipe keeps it simple with minimal ingredients so the mushrooms can really shine.
It is an easy, satisfying side dish, but you can also pair it with cooked brown rice or quinoa for more of a main dish meal.
Or serve it with a protein like this easy Baked Tofu.
Ingredients
For this simple recipe, you will need:
- Large portobello mushrooms
- Fresh baby spinach
- Garlic cloves
- Tamari: Or substitute soy sauce, but I use tamari for gluten-free.
- Toasted sesame oil: Or you can substitute olive oil but I enjoy the flavor of toasted sesame oil. For an oil-free option, simply omit this.
- Sesame seeds for serving: Optional, but recommended.
Customizing
Mushrooms: Change it up with other mushrooms, or a combination. Shiitake mushrooms, white button mushrooms, cremini, etc.
Greens: You could also include fresh kale or other greens in addition to the spinach.
Veggies: Add other vegetables as desired. Baby bok choy, onions, green onions, snow peas, zucchini, cabbage, etc.
