Ingredients
- 1000 grams fresh spinach
- 240 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
- 120 milliliters full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and trim the spinach, then allow it to dry.
Step 2
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.
Step 4
Add the fresh spinach to the pot in batches, stirring occasionally until it is wilted and reduced in volume, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, coconut milk, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Step 6
Pour the milk mixture over the wilted spinach. Stir well to combine and increase the heat to bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and let the creamed spinach thicken, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Step 9
Serve the dairy-free creamed spinach warm as a side dish.
