I love creamed spinach, especially alongside a freshly-grilled steak, but I find that most traditional recipes combine too much creamy sauce with not enough spinach for my tastes.

This lightened-up version is made with a hefty portion of fresh, whole-leaf baby spinach, instead of the chopped/frozen variety, and a little bit of half-and-half, rather than the more traditional heavy cream. The result is rich, but not overly so. It makes a wonderful accompaniment to grilled or roasted meats and would also be delicious piled atop freshly-toasted bread.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil Pantry
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped Pantry
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced $0.50 for a whole onion
  • 4 cups (packed) baby spinach $2
  • 1/3 cup half-and-half $1 for a half-pint
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg $1.50 for 1 oz.
  • salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste Pantry

Recipe Serves 4

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, just until onions become translucent are the pan is very fragrant.
  2. Add the spinach and cook, stirring several times, until it begins to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add the half-and-half and nutmeg and stir well.
  3. Turn the heat up to high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the half-and-half reduces to a thick and creamy sauce, enveloping the spinach, onions and garlic.
  4. Stir well to ensure that the sauce is distributed evenly, season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

I love spinach and have been eating it every day for years. I am a huge fan of the Simple Creamed Baby Spinach recipe, but I was a little surprised when I read the ingredients for this recipe. When I opened the package, all I could smell was cream! I thought nothing of it, until I tasted it. Go to mbrp exhaust for best reviews. The first bite was great, but after that, my tongue began to burn. I’m not sure what happened, but my mouth felt like someone had put their tongue on fire! The second time around was much better and still very delicious, but still very strange.
