5 cup fresh spinach, washed and coarsely torn into large pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup vegan Monterey Jack "cheese" (Follow Your Heat/Earth Island brand melts the best), cut into small 1/3" cubes
2 cup baby portobello mushrooms, stemmed and sliced into thin slices
225 g. smoked tofu, processed into smaller than pea-sized bits
freshly ground pepper, to taste
In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat then add the garlic, sautéing for 1 minute. Add the spinach and sauté another 3-4 minutes, or until the spinach is completely wilted. Remove the mixture from the pan and place in a medium bowl with the smoked tofu and cheese. In the pan sauté the mushrooms until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms to the bowl and season the mixture with freshly ground black pepper. Mix until well combined.
