Notes: Buy trimmed, cleaned spinach. If you don't have anise-flavor liqueur, add 1/2 teaspoon anise seed to the boiling cream mixture instead. Ingredients:
1 pound (4 to 4 1/2 qt.) spinach leaves, rinsed and drained |
1 cup whipping cream |
about 3/4 teaspoon fresh-grated or ground nutmeg |
about 2 tablespoons pernod or other dry anise-flavor liqueur |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. In a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat, stir spinach until wilted, about 5 minutes. Drain, saving liquid. Purée about half the spinach in a food processor or blender.
2. Return reserved spinach liquid to pan and add cream, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon Pernod. Boil over high heat until mixture is reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Stir in puréed and whole spinach and additional nutmeg and Pernod to taste; stir until bubbling. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
