ITALIAN MUSHROOMS FLORENTINE

large pkg. whole mushroom (from Sam's), washed
vegetable oil spray
small can Italian tomato paste with garlic
1 medium onion, peeled and microwaved whole
coarse ground black pepper
cayenne
cumin
1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
fresh steamed spinach

Remove 1/2 inch from mushroom stems and half mushrooms. Place in sauce pan which has been sprayed with vegetable oil spray. Cook mushrooms dry covered with lid on medium high, stirring often to prevent burning. Continue cooking until mushrooms brown, lots of juice cooks out of mushrooms and mushrooms are tender. Remove mushrooms and reserve. To mushroom juice add tomato paste, blend well. Add onion blenderized in about 1/2 cup of water. Mix well and cook over low heat until steaming hot. Add mushrooms, pepper, cayenne and olive oil. Cook on low for about 2 minutes.

Spoon mushrooms and sauce over fresh steamed spinach. Sprinkle with cumin and serve.
