Time 20m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 bunches fresh spinach, washed well, rough stems removed
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the spinach and simmer for 2 minutes. Drain the spinach in a colander. Press down on the spinach with a clean kitchen towel to release all of the liquid. Remove to a cutting board and roughly chop.
  • Heat a large saute pan, over medium-high heat and add the butter and olive oil. When the butter has melted, add the shallots and garlic and saute until fragrant and tender. Stir in the red pepper flakes and spinach. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Saute briefly, then add the heavy cream, nutmeg and Parmesan. Reduce the spinach mixture until it has thickened, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

SPICY CREAMED SPINACH

This is no ordinary spinach dish. When friends of ours from Gilbert, Arizona made this as a side dish last Thanksgiving, it was a huge hit. Needless to say there were no leftovers.

Categories     Vegetables

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 bunch spinach, fresh
3 medium sweet onions
3-4 clove garlic
6 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp olive oil
3/4 c heavy cream
3/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
2 c pepper jack cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Chop and stem spinach, chop onions, mince garlic.
  • 2. Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, stir in onions and garlic. Cook about 2 minutes or until onions are translucent.
  • 3. Add spinach and stir till warmed throughout and is beginning to wilt.
  • 4. Add salt, pepper, nutmeg and cream. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer till liquid is reduced by half.
  • 5. Add pepper jack cheese, stir till cheese is melted. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Use fresh spinach leaves for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will become limp and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality cream: The cream is a key ingredient in this recipe, so use a good quality, full-fat cream for the best results.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the creamed spinach before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Serve immediately: Creamed spinach is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can reheat it gently over low heat until warmed through.

Conclusion:

This spicy creamed spinach is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is also a good way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With its creamy, spicy flavor and vibrant green color, this creamed spinach is sure to be a hit at your next meal.
