Creamed Spinach

SUBMITTED BY: terry

"A spinach dish, creamed with a roux of butter, flour and water. It's very easy to make, but slightly time consuming on account using fresh spinach. It is well worth the effort though!"

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon butter or margarine
  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS

  1. Wash spinach well and remove any hard stems. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add spinach (it will cook down very rapidly). Remove spinach from the stovetop, let cool slightly then drain reserving the water.
  2. Using an electric food processor, puree the spinach.
  3. Make roux with the butter, flour and reserved water. Add the roux to the spinach, stir and serve.

I make this with a small package of frozen chopped spinach. Drain after cooking and make my roux with a little more butter and flour. Until a creamy consistency,then salt and pepper. Should cook roux a couple minutes to get rid of flour taste. It is pretty good. Thanks Terry

This recipe gets 5 stars for taste, but only 3 for clear instructions. The instruction assume you know how to make a roux. Luckily I did so it was easy enough. I added two cloves of garlic to the roux...yummmm. I steamed the spinach, and used that water to make the roux, but it was not enough so I also added enough milk to make the 1/2 cup. It was GREAT! next time I might add some chopped onion. Garlic and onion make just about everything wonderful!

This was met with mixed reviews. My husband and I couldn't even swallow our first spoonful (yuck!), but our 2 yearold couldn't get enough. He finished his, then cleaned off our plate as well. I'll make this again......for him.
