Spinach & Shitake Mushroom Salad
1. Mix the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl or jar. Add the olive oil and set aside.
2 Combine the spinach, nuts, peas and feta cheese in a salad bowl.
3. Heat a pan over medium high heat. Add 1 tspn oil and when very hot, add the mushrooms. Shake the pan, then let the mushrooms cook without moving them around until they begin to sweat and soften. After about a minute or two, when they have begun to sear and release moisture, you can give them a shake so that they don’t stick. Cook for about 5 minutes, season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
4. Add to the spinach mixture and toss with the dressing. Serve immediately with the lamb kebabs.
