Provided by Cynthia

Categories     Side Dish

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound baby spinach ((You can substitute frozen spinach))
4 slices of bacon (diced)
1 clove of garlic
1 medium onion (diced fine)
3/4 teaspoon Lawry's seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
2 Tablespoons flour
1 cup milk

Steps:

  • Blanch spinach in batches by cooking it in salted, boiling water for a few seconds, then plunging it in ice water to stop the cooking. (To save time, use frozen, chopped spinach!)
  • Squeeze out excess liquid and chop.
  • In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, saute bacon 2 or 3 minutes. Add diced onion and continue to cook until onion is translucent another 3 or 4 minutes. Add garlic, spinach and seasonings and cook another minute.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat butter until melted. Add flour, stirring with a spoon until flour is incorporated and begins to turn slightly golden, about 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook until sauce begins to thicken about 3 minutes.
  • Add cream sauce to the spinach mixture.
  • In a food processor pulse spinach 3 or 4 times. It should retain its texture. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
  • Can be made a day ahead of time.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and texture compared to frozen spinach. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess water before cooking.
  • Cook Spinach Properly: Do not overcook the spinach, as it can become mushy and lose its鮮豔色彩。 Cook the spinach just until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Use Good Quality Cream: High-quality cream will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce. Use heavy cream or half-and-half for a richer sauce, or use milk for a lighter sauce.
  • Season Generously: Do not be afraid to season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Serve Immediately: Creamed spinach is best served immediately after it is made. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
