CREAMED SPINACH



Creamed Spinach image

The incredible mound of spinach called for here (3 pounds!) deflates quickly after an initial blanching, which helps maintain its deep green color. Shallots and garlic lend sweetness, while a mix of milk and heavy cream provides richness without being too heavy. Finally, tangy sour cream lifts and balances the dish. The spinach can be blanched, cooled and chopped a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Leftovers make a great omelet or quiche filling, and are also a terrific addition to pasta.

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds adult spinach (from five 10-ounce bags), tough stems removed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup finely chopped shallot
3 garlic cloves, minced

Salt and black pepper
1/4 cup sour cream

Drain again, pressing out excess water, then coarsely chop for a total of 4 packed cups.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and stir until melted, then add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until flour is light golden but the shallots still have no color, about 3 minutes. While whisking constantly, drizzle in milk and cream until smooth, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then add chopped spinach and season with salt and pepper.

  • Choose fresh spinach: Look for spinach that is deep green in color and has no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Wash the spinach thoroughly: Rinse the spinach under cold water several times to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Do not overcook the spinach: Overcooked spinach will become mushy and lose its nutrients. Cook it just until it is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to prevent the spinach from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Season the spinach to taste: Salt, pepper, garlic, and onion are all classic seasonings that pair well with creamed spinach.
  • Serve creamed spinach immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, reheat it gently over low heat until warmed through.
