METHOD
- Brush one tablespoon of oil into a 12 inch oven safe pan (or a 9×13 baking dish).
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add in the mushrooms and leeks and cook until they are softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
