Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh spinach
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups chicken stock
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the spinach for 30 seconds. Quickly transfer the spinach to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and squeeze out all excess water, then chop finely.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to make a roux. Be careful not to let it brown.
Step 3
Slowly whisk in the milk and chicken stock, ensuring there are no lumps. Increase the heat slightly and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, ground nutmeg, kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 5
Add the chopped spinach to the cream sauce, stirring well to combine. Cook for another 3-5 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 6
Remove from heat and serve the creamed spinach hot as a perfect accompaniment to prime rib or your favorite main dish.
