SAUTÉED SPINACH AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

If you love vegetables with a lot of flavor, this is definitely the side dish for you! To start off with, there’s the umami: umami is sometimes described as the “taste of protein:” it’s the rich “meatiness” that you can taste in certain savory foods like tomatoes, mushrooms, and cured meats like bacon. Chemically, the umami taste comes from a compound called L-glutamate: both spinach and mushrooms are rich sources, so you’re really getting a double whammy here.
