How To Make Spinach, Cabbage and Mushroom Stir-fry

1. Heat the oil and butter: Heat the olive oil and butter in a large frying pan or wok over high heat.
2. Cook the onion: Add the sliced onion and fry for a few minutes until softened.
3. Add the mushrooms: Stir in the chestnut and oyster mushrooms, then cover with a lid. Reduce the heat and cook for 2 minutes.
4. Brown the mushrooms: Remove the lid and cook over high heat for another minute or so until the mushrooms turn golden.
5. Add the garlic: Add the crushed garlic and fry for 30 seconds.
6. Stir-fry the cabbage: Stir in the shredded cabbage and cook for 2–3 minutes, tossing occasionally over the heat.
7. Add the spinach: Tip in the baby spinach and toss until wilted.
8. Season and serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately in a large bowl.

Recipe Tips

• Use fresh mushrooms for better flavour: Fresh chestnut and oyster mushrooms will give the dish a richer, more earthy taste compared to older, drier mushrooms.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan: Fry the mushrooms in batches if necessary. Overcrowding the pan can cause them to steam instead of brown, affecting the texture.
• Keep the heat high for a golden finish: After covering the mushrooms, make sure to increase the heat again when you remove the lid. This helps them turn golden and develop a nice caramelised flavour.
• Shred the cabbage thinly for quicker cooking: Thinly sliced cabbage cooks faster and evenly, ensuring a tender texture without being too crunchy.
• Add spinach at the end: Spinach wilts quickly, so add it last to preserve its vibrant green colour and prevent overcooking.
