CREAMED SPINACH

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/2 pounds washed baby spinach
1/2 small onion, finely diced
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
Pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano

Steps:

  • Coat a large, straight-sided saute pan with olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the spinach, cover and saute until gently wilted. Remove the spinach from the pan to a colander set inside a bowl to let the spinach drain and cool.
  • Remove any liquid from the bottom of the saute pan and coat lightly with olive oil. Heat the oil over medium heat, add the onions, and season with salt, to taste. Saute the onions until they are translucent and very aromatic, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 2 to 3 more minutes. Add the butter, and when melted stir in the flour. Cook until it is the texture of wet sand, about 5 to 6 minutes. Whisk in the milk, cayenne pepper and Parmigiano. Taste for seasoning and season with salt, if needed, (it will). Bring the milk to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, so the milk doesn t scorch on the bottom.
  • Add in the reserved spinach and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

CREAMED SPINACH



Creamed Spinach image

"I happen to have a minor passion for creamed spinach," Pierre Franey wrote in The Times in 1987. His passion shines here with this simple, richly flavored dish. Spinach that has been cooked briefly and pureed in a food processor is combined with a fast bechamel sauce. The result is just so good.

Categories     easy, quick

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 pounds spinach in bulk, or two 10-ounce plastic wrapped bags
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • If bulk spinach is used, pick it over to remove and discard any tough stems and blemished leaves. Rinse the spinach thoroughly and shake off excess water. There should be about 2 pounds cleaned weight, or 16 cups.
  • Bring enough water to a boil to cover the spinach when it is added and stirred down. Add spinach and cook 2 minutes and drain. Run under cold running water until chilled. Empty the spinach into a deep colander and press to extract most of the water.
  • Put the spinach into the container of a food processor or an electric blender and blend thoroughly. There should be about 1 3/4 cups.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. Add the milk, stirring rapidly with the whisk. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, about 5 minutes and add the spinach. Stir to blend. Heat and serve.
