Delicious Creamed Spinach
Spinach is a very refreshing and healthy green vegetable that everyone should add to their diet. I am one of those spinach lovers—I can eat it until I am literally sick. I love it SO much. I have spinach salads, sautéed spinach, and creamed spinach.
This creamed spinach recipe yields 4-6 servings. It has extra onions and shallots because I love the flavors that bring to the table.
Serve it as a side dish to your favorite meal. This stuff is much better than anything you’ll find at the grocery store!
Easy Creamed Spinach
Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup minced shallot
1 large onion, chopped finely
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds fresh spinach
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallot, chopped onions, and garlic. Cook until fragrant and soft.
Add the fresh spinach in batches, pressing down gently on the leaves as they wilt. When all of your spinach is wilted, lower the heat.
Pour the heavy cream over the wilted spinach. Stir and cook for five minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve warm.
