Oak shiitake mushrooms and spinach

I love cooking with a few great ingredients. I picked up some beautiful oak shiitake mushrooms at the farmer's market. I added spinach to make a quick side dish for my lamb popsicles. You can add this to any steamed whole grain: barley, quinoa, brown rice, wild rice, etc. Mix it up with different combinations. Serve hot as a side dish or take leftovers for lunch and eat it cold as a salad.

Shiitake
have been used medicinally by the Chinese for more than 6,000 years. Shiitake is listed as boosting your immune system and having antifungal, anti-tumor, and antiviral effects.
