Gullivers Creamed Spinach Recipes

GULLIVER'S CREAMED SPINACH

Steps:

• Thaw spinach and squeeze completely dry. Chop bacon and onion very fine and place in saucepan. Saute bacon and onion until bacon is cooked. Stir in flour to make smooth paste. Gradually add milk, bring to boil and simmer 10 minutes over low heat until thickened. Add salt and pepper. At this point, you can either chop spinach finely or keep as is, then add to cream sauce, combine well and heat through.

FAST AND EASY CREAMED SPINACH

Steps:

• Pour olive oil into a large soup pot, place over high heat, add spinach, and cover. Cook for 1 minute, uncover, and lightly stir until most of the leaves are bright green and wilted, about 2 minutes. Quickly drain spinach in a strainer and transfer to a plate lined with 4 or 5 paper towels. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze as much liquid from the spinach as possible. Transfer spinach to a cutting board and coarsely chop.
• Mix salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg in a small bowl.
• Place a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter in skillet, and stir shallot in the hot butter until just barely golden and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir seasoning mixture into shallot mixture and pour in cream. Raise heat to medium-high and reduce cream sauce to about half, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon zest.
• Reduce heat to low and toss spinach with cream sauce in skillet. Cook and stir until spinach is heated through and coated, about 2 minutes. Stir Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into spinach until thoroughly combined; serve immediately.
