Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds spinach
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, lightly smashed
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Wash the spinach in several changes of water to get rid of any grit. Drain the spinach but keep some of the water clinging to the leaves. Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the spinach and garlic. Cook, turning frequently, until the spinach has wilted down evenly. Remove the garlic and put the spinach into a colander and let it drain well. Press out as much liquid as you can from the leaves and chop them coarsely.
  • Heat the skillet again over medium-high heat and add the cream and nutmeg; cook until it reduces a bit, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the spinach is hot, about 5 more minutes. Serve immediately.

EMERIL'S SPINACH COULIS

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Vegetables     Spinach Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped shallots
1/4 cup Herbsaint or other anise-flavored liqueur
1/4 cup chopped green onions (scallions), green parts only
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
One 10-ounce bag fresh spinach, thoroughly washed and trimmed of tough stems
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a 10-inch saute pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until soft and lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Carefully add the Herbsaint so that it does not flame. Add the green onions, parsley, and spinach and cook until the spinach is slightly wilted, about 1 minute. Add the cream and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour the mixture into a food processor or blender and process until the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute. Add the salt and pepper and pulse two or three times to blend, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Thaw Frozen Spinach Properly: Before using frozen spinach, thaw it properly to remove excess water. The best way to do this is to place the frozen spinach in a colander in the sink and let it thaw for a few hours, or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Squeeze Out Excess Water: After thawing, squeeze out any excess water from the spinach using a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. This will help prevent the creamed spinach from becoming watery.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh spinach, onion, and garlic will give your creamed spinach a more vibrant taste.
  • Don't Overcook the Spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will become mushy and lose its鮮味.
  • Season to Taste: Taste the creamed spinach and adjust the seasoning accordingly. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or nutmeg to suit your taste.

Conclusion:

Emeril's creamed spinach is a classic side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy, flavorful sauce and tender spinach, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next meal. Whether you serve it with roasted chicken, grilled fish, or a simple steak, this creamed spinach will be a delicious addition to your table.
