2largegarlic cloves, minced(half amount to saute mushrooms, half amount to saute spinach)
2/3cupcoconut cream(use ½ cup for less coconut flavor)

Instructions
Saute mushrooms: Heat 1 tbsp ghee or olive oil in a large saute pan (or dutch oven). When hot, lower the heat to medium. Add half amount of chopped garlic, season with a small pinch of salt. Saute until fragrant (about 5-10 seconds). Add quartered mushrooms. Season with another pinch of salt. Keep sauteing until the mushrooms turn slightly softer. Add 1 tbsp stock to the saute pan to help stir-frying. Set aside. If there’s any liquid left in the saute pan, dump the water.
Saute spinach: Heat 1 ½ to 2 tbsp ghee in a large saute pan (or dutch oven). When hot, lower the heat to medium. Add the rest amount of chopped garlic, season with a small pinch of salt. Saute until fragrant (about 5-10 seconds). Add spinach. Keep sauteing until the spinach turns slightly wilted but not mushy. Season with another pinch of salt. Set aside. Discard the liquid in the saute pan.
Warm up the sauce: In a medium size saucepan, uncovered, gently warm up ⅔ cup coconut cream with 1 tbsp ghee. Stir occasionally until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve: Combine mushrooms and spinach. Pour the sauce over. Give it a gentle toss. Optional - serve with toasted almond slices or lemon zest if desired.
