   • Begin by washing the fresh spinach thoroughly. It’s essential to use only the water used to wash it for cooking.
   • Cook the spinach until it’s slightly limp. This can be achieved by steaming or boiling it for a few minutes. Once done, remove the spinach from the heat and set it aside, keeping it warm.

2. Prepare the Mushroom Sauce:

   • In a pot, add 1/4 cup of mushroom liquid and bring it to a boil.
   • To the boiling liquid, add pepper, butter, diced onions, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms.
   • Cook the mixture over low heat for about two minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

3. Prepare the Creamy Sauce:

   • In a separate bowl, stir some of the hot liquid from the pot into the sour cream. This helps to temper the sour cream and prevent curdling.

4. Combine and Serve:

   • Once the mushroom mixture is ready, gently stir in the tempered sour cream.
   • Heat the sauce just until warmed through, being careful not to let it boil.
   • Pour the creamy sauce over the cooked spinach, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
   • Toss the spinach gently to incorporate the sauce without wilting the leaves.
   • Serve the Gourmet Spinach immediately, garnished with freshly cracked black pepper if desired.

Tips:

• For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or a dash of nutmeg to the creamy sauce.
• This recipe can be easily customized to suit your taste preferences. Feel free to add additional vegetables such as bell peppers or cherry tomatoes for added color and nutrition.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Simply reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
