Creamed Spinach


First published Mar 29, 2011

The other day, a friend remarked that she had a new favourite thing; creamed spinach.  My first thought was, Ick, that’s something you get at the old folk’s home!  Once she started listing the ingredients however, I was hooked!  I’ve been trying to eat a load of greens lately... I need something to balance all those sweets!

Creamed Spinach

Ingredients: A pack of spinach, butter, cream, a block of Parmesan cheese and sea salt.

Method:
Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat.
Add half a container of spinach and toss gently until wilted.
Turn heat down to low, add a couple tablespoons of cream and a handful of grated Parmesan cheese.
Cook on low heat for a few minutes.
Season with sea salt and serve.
Serves one... this is the gist of the creamed spinach... you can adjust according to however many you are serving.

Now that you've got your daily intake of greens, you can have a cookie or two guilt free.  That's my justification, anyway!
