Creamed Spinach with Garlic

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses Quick Meals
The opposite of cafeteria nightmares: well-made spinach stew isn't a green mass, but a fresh, garlic-infused cream made silky by milk and butter. The key is brief heat treatment of the spinach to preserve flavor and vitamins, and bold use of garlic.

Instructions

1 ✓

Wash the fresh spinach and wilt in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain and chop finely.

Tip: Sudden heat treatment (blanching) preserves chlorophyll, so the spinach stays beautiful green.
2 ✓

Make a roux: heat the fat, add the flour and crushed garlic, but don't brown it, keep it light.

Tip: Garlic essential oils release quickly; be careful not to burn it!
3 ✓

Pour in the cold milk, whisk until lump-free, then add the spinach. Season with salt and pepper.

Tip: The hot roux + cold liquid combination helps avoid lumps.
4 ✓

Cook for a few minutes until thickened. If too thick, thin with milk. Serve with sunny-side-up eggs.

Tip: The flour needs a few minutes of cooking to lose its raw taste.
