LAURIE COLWIN'S CREAMED SPINACH WITH JALAPEñO PEPPERS
This recipe is from the celebrated food writer Laurie Colwin, and in some ways it is quintessentially hers. There's the delicious richness of the dish, its unfussiness and nostalgic value. There is the constant awareness of the plight of the busy home cook, those who would just as soon use a package of frozen spinach if the results are just as good as if you washed and chopped an untold number of bunches of fresh spinach yourself. And there is a twist: the jalapeños, which are a preventative measure against the gloppy blandness of steakhouse creamed spinach, adding sharpness to the dish but not too much heat. You can use either fresh or pickled jalapeños here - the latter add nice zing - and panko bread crumbs are a good substitution for fresh if you don't have them (or a few pieces of stale bread) in the pantry.

Steps:
- Wash the spinach in several changes of water to get rid of any grit. Drain the spinach but keep some of the water clinging to the leaves. Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the spinach and garlic. Cook, turning frequently, until the spinach has wilted down evenly. Remove the garlic and put the spinach into a colander and let it drain well. Press out as much liquid as you can from the leaves and chop them coarsely.
- Heat the skillet again over medium-high heat and add the cream and nutmeg; cook until it reduces a bit, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the spinach is hot, about 5 more minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a vibrant green color and crisp leaves. Avoid wilted or yellowed spinach.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly: Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.
- Cook the spinach briefly: Overcooking can make the spinach mushy. Cook it just until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
- Use high-quality cream: Heavy cream or whipping cream will give the creamed spinach a rich and creamy texture. Avoid using milk, as it will make the sauce thin and watery.
- Season the creamed spinach to taste: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all classic seasonings for creamed spinach. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
- Serve creamed spinach immediately: Creamed spinach is best served hot and fresh. It can be served as a side dish or as a main course over rice or pasta.
Conclusion:
Creamed spinach is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. With its creamy texture and flavorful sauce, creamed spinach is sure to please everyone at the table.
