Big Martha's Creamed Spinach image

I have several Martha Stewart Cookbooks and in one of them is her mother's recipe for Creamed Spinach. I have been making this since the late 1970's and it is a family favorite. I have introduced many southern friends to what I call northern greens, spinach, Swiss chard and beet greens that are so tender they barely need...

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 lb fresh spinach, well washed (not dried) and tough stems removed
3 Tbsp butter, unsalted
1/4 c all purpose flour
1 c milk
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tsp sugar
dash(es) freshly grated nutmeg
sour cream for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Place spinach in a large pot over high heat. Cook, covered, with just the water clinging to leaves, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain, squeezing out and reserving excess liquid. Roughly chop spinach; set aside.
  • 2. In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour, and cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk; season with salt, pepper, and sugar. Thin with reserved spinach liquid. Stir in spinach. Sprinkle with nutmeg to taste and, if desired, top with a dollop of sour cream. Serve immediately.
