(about 5 cups)
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 package (9 ounces) frozen creamed spinach, thawed
- 1/4 cup chopped pitted calamata or ripe olives

INSTRUCTIONS
This Mediterranean mushroom, spinach and olive combination is good served over broiled mild-flavored fish or as a bed for sliced roast leg of lamb.
In nonstick skillet over medium heat cook mushrooms and onion, stirring constantly, until mushrooms are tender and release their liquid, about 6 minutes. Add spinach, 1/4 cup water, olives, roasted red peppers, oregano and crushed red pepper; cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Just before serving stir in feta cheese.
