Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ c butter, cubed
1 pkg (14.4 oz.) frozen pearl onions, thawed and drained
2 c heavy whipping cream
½ c grated parmesan cheese
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
10 oz fresh baby spinach (about 13 cups)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions. Cook and stir 6-8 minutes or until tender. Stir in cream and bring to a boil.
  • 2. Cook 6-8 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half.
  • 3. Stir in Parmesan, salt and pepper. Add spinach. Cook, covered, for 3-5 minutes or until spinach is wilted, stirring occasionally. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh spinach: Look for spinach with deep green leaves and no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Wash the spinach thoroughly: Rinse the spinach in cold water several times to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality cream: The cream is a key ingredient in this dish, so be sure to use a good quality cream that has a high fat content.
  • Season the dish to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you need will depend on your personal preference. Taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve immediately: Creamed spinach is best served immediately after it is made. The spinach will start to wilt if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Creamed spinach with pearl onions is a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like it creamy or cheesy, with or without onions, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
