A quick and flavorful sautéed vegetable dish perfect for a light meal or side.
Heat the sauté pan over medium heat.
Ensure the pan is evenly heated before adding oil to prevent sticking.
Add the olive oil to the pan and let it warm up.
Swirl the oil around the pan for even coverage.
Add the onions and mushrooms to the pan and sauté until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes.
Adding garlic later prevents it from burning and turning bitter.
Toss in the spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes.
Stir gently to avoid overcooking the spinach.
Remove the pan from heat and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed for a balanced flavor.
Serve the sautéed vegetables warm as a side dish or light meal.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
