Fresh Baby Spinach with a balsamic reduction

FRESH BABY SPINACH WITH A BALSAMIC GLAZE
(This image is shown with a topping sprinkle of hemp seeds. While hemp seeds are amazing for us, they are high in calories and fat so, should be enjoyed when you are finished with the pq diet.)
Saute shiitake mushrooms in a pan sprayed with organic EVOO, med high heat. When mushrooms begin to have a slight sear, spray pan with more EVOO and add one bag of baby spinach rotating the leaves to help sweat out moisture. When the leaves cook down, add minced garlic.
BALSAMIC REDUCTION: add one cup of balsamic vinegar to a sauce pan on med to med high heat. As soon as the liquid begins to bubble, turn down to med, med low (depends on your stove). This will reduce by 75%. Remove from heat to allow to thicken.  Drizzle thickened reduction over your cooked spinach. My garnishes are a seaweed and herring roe spread from Ikea. You can add a dab to each bite for extra flavor.
I don't go into great detail so, if you are not used to being in the kitchen may want to check youtube on how to make this reduction.
