Mushrooms with Sun-dried Tomatoes & Spinach

Mushrooms can take on a lot of flavour from other ingredients in a dish. If you just sautรฉ them by themselves, they might be a bit boring. However, magical flavours emerge when adding even with a single clove of garlic and some olive oil or butter. One of the key things when cooking mushrooms is…
