Techniques
  • butter
  • onion
Melt butter in a pan; add onion and cook 4 to 5 minutes until soft.
Creamed spinach: butter, onion, garlic and roux
Add the three garlic cloves and mix.
Add flour and cook about a minute, until dry and sandy, for a roux.
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • flour
  • 1 cup milk
Add a cup of milk a little at a time, then a cup of whipping cream; bring to a simmer.
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • parmesan
  • salt
  • pepper
Stir in parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
  • 3 pack frozen chopped spinach
Add the thawed, well-pressed frozen chopped spinach, breaking it up, and mix.
Adjust: thin with a little milk if too thick, or cook longer or add parmesan or cream cheese if too thin; leave it slightly thin since it tightens as it sits. Season again and add a little more parmesan.
Rewarm just before serving.
