Creamed Spinach

by Valeria - Beets 'n Bones blog

IMG_9542 Even though the weather is still warm, it’s starting to feel like fall, and today I really felt like having some comfort food. Not sure how the idea of creamed spinach came about but once I started thinking about it – I had to make it. And schnitzel to go along with it… I couldn’t convince my toddlers that this dish is not excluded from the ‘edible by humans food’ category but the grown-ups enjoyed it very much.

  • A pinch of nutmeg

  2. In a Dutch oven, or any enameled iron pot, melt butter or ghee and add onion and garlic and saute until onions are soft.
  3. Add flour, mix and cook on low for 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add cream and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add drained spinach, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
  6. Cover and simmer for a few more minutes.
  7. Serve hot.
