CREAMED SPINACH



Creamed Spinach image

This classic dish, a staple of high-end steakhouses and humble tables alike, is one that every cook should learn to make. We've carefully crafted this recipe to capture the ultimate classic creamed-spinach characteristics so that it can be your textbook version and an heirloom to pass down. Once you've made it and seen how easy it is, there's a good chance it'll be on your table more often than for just special-occasion feasts. It's creamy and satisfying even though it takes just 35 minutes to make. The ingredients are all easily accessible staples, but the inclusion of nutmeg might surprise you. If you associate that spice more with cookies than vegetables, you're in for a pleasant surprise. Rather than dominating the dish, or even standing out on its own, nutmeg in this application serves to elevate the flavors of the key ingredients-cream and spinach-and bring them into harmony. As a finishing touch, we've added butter-toasted panko bread crumbs for a pleasant little crunch that we think you'll find very satisfying.

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.

Provided by Pierre Franey

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.
