I know there are a lot of creamed spinach recipes out there and this is just my version. It was my first time making this and I wanted it to be creamy & flavorful without being too heavy as I wanted to use it in another recipe. Read more . It worked out great as a side dish on its own and perfect for the recipe I put it in. Ingredients:
2 tbsp butter, divided |
1 tbsp flour |
1/2 cup milk (i used 2%) |
1 tbsp half & half |
1/8 tsp white pepper |
1/4 tsp nutmeg |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
1/2 medium onion, diced |
10 oz baby spinach |
sea salt to taste |
Directions:
1. Melt one tbsp butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until smooth. Slowly whisk in milk. Cook until thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Add nutmeg, pepper, and half & half. Stir to mix and cover, remove from heat & set aside.
2. Melt remaining butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until tender and just beginning to brown, about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Add spinach a little at a time, turning with tongs until all is added and just wilted. Remove from heat and pour sauce over. Stir to combine. Season with salt to taste.
