It's also low in calories, carbs, and WW points (yes I'm back).
I purchased a large quart of white firm mushrooms from Costco. With this heat, I really wasn't in the mood to really cook, so I had to think about something I could make that was quick and easy.
I decided to simply throw some cherry tomato halves, some sliced mushrooms, a few tablespoons of water and a small amount of salsa into a skillet.
I topped it with fresh spinach leaves and let them wilt as I let it cook down for about 6 minutes and was very pleased with the results.
The cherry tomatoes are running very sweet at Shady Brook Farm near my house. I didn't use all of those tomatoes in this recipe, I actually split half to use for the salad.
I would enjoy this sauté on a veggie burger, over a baked potato, over cauliflower rice, or regular rice. Personally, I was fine with it just the way it was.
Ingredients:
2 cups of sliced white mushrooms
2 cups of cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1 cup of spinach
1/4 cup of water
1 cup of chunky salsa
Directions:
Add cherry tomatoes to a saucepan and sauté for about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, water, and salsa and cook for about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and allow to cook down for another 2-3 minutes.

We would love this. Thank you for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI always buy mushrooms until late last month when a small pack here was $7.99. I almost passed out in the produce aisle. Needless to say we haven’t had them in a while.
Prices have gone up a lot here too, but the $1.99 package of mushrooms is now $2.99
DeleteA rather simple, quick and delicious stirfry!
ReplyDeleteYes Angie- I'm finding that simple is the key for me. Not in the mood to be in the kitchen for long periods and want minimal cleanup
DeleteA delicious stirfry!.....healthy and tasty!.......Abrazotes, Marcela
ReplyDeleteThanks Marcela- It actually was extremely easy and very tasty with the salsa and the juices from the vegetables.
DeleteWhat is the chunky salsa you refer to in the recipe?
ReplyDeletefrom Tandy I Lavender and Lime https://tandysinclair.com
Tandy, we are able to buy jars of salsa in glass at Whole Foods Mkt for any supermarket. They come in different consistencies- I buy the chunky consistency to cook with.
DeleteI love how easy this looks to make. It really is the perfect way to sneak more veggies into your day!
ReplyDeleteHeidi- In this family I don't need to sneak more vegetables- we are vegans so we eat lots of them at every meal including breakfast!! It is easy to make
DeleteHealthy and delish!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday, Judee!
Yes Veronica -"as you say healthy and delish" - just the way I like it.

DeleteThis dish is packed with vitamins and I bet tastes delicious, too!
ReplyDeleteI agree- their is a variety of flavors and colors which means lots of different vitamins
DeleteI love stir-fries and this is right up my alley!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, Judee!
Great- I hope you try it and enjoy it..
DeleteI agree that easy meals are where it's at in this heat! And your veggie stir fry looks like a good one. Mushrooms, tomatoes, and spinach used to be a go-to for me with pasta, so putting this on a baked potato as you suggested sounds good. I love the pic of the tomatoes. So vibrant!
ReplyDeleteMushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes seem to be a perfect combination.
