Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound baby spinach
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup finely diced yellow onion
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk, (whole milk works best)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
¼ teaspoon sweet paprika
1 pinch ground nutmeg

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a saucepan or large skillet set over medium-high heat.
Add spinach to the heated oil and cook for 2 minutes, or until wilted, stirring frequently.I suggest cooking the spinach in 3 batches so it fits comfortably in the skillet, and cooks evenly. Use about a teaspoon of oil with each batch.
Remove from heat and transfer spinach to a cutting board; once it is cool enough to handle, chop up the spinach. Set aside.
Wipe down the saucepan.
Set saucepan over medium heat.
Add butter to the pan and melt it. Swirl around from time to time to melt nicely and prevent from browning.
To the melted butter add the onion and cook for 2 minutes, or until just softened.
Sprinkle flour over the onions; cook and whisk for 2 more minutes, or until lightly browned.
Add the milk in a slow stream while whisking; whisk until completely combined and the mixture begins to boil and slightly thicken.
Whisk in salt, pepper, paprika, and nutmeg.
Reduce heat to low and continue to cook for 5 minutes, whisking frequently.
Add the chopped spinach; stir to combine and continue to cook for 5 more minutes, stirring frequently, folding in the spinach as you stir. You want to mix and stir to completely combine the spinach with the sauce.
Remove from heat.
Taste for salt and pepper, and adjust accordingly.
Serve.

Tips:

Choose fresh, tender spinach for the best flavor and texture. Look for spinach with deep green leaves and no signs of wilting or yellowing.
Wash the spinach thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. Swish the spinach around in a bowl of cold water, then drain it in a colander.
To remove excess moisture from the spinach, squeeze it gently with your hands or use a salad spinner.
Use a large skillet or sauté pan to cook the spinach. This will give the spinach plenty of room to wilt and cook evenly.
Start by cooking the aromatics, such as onion, garlic, and shallots, in a little bit of butter or olive oil. This will add flavor to the spinach.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook it over medium heat, stirring frequently. The spinach will wilt and reduce in volume as it cooks.
Season the spinach with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine for extra flavor.
Serve the creamed spinach immediately as a side dish or as a topping for steak, fish, or chicken.
