Preparation
Step 1
Step 1
ingredients 3 pounds baby spinach
instructions: Cook spinach in 2 batches in 1 inch of boiling salted water in an 8-quart pot, stirring constantly, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold running water until cool. Squeeze small handfuls of spinach to remove as much moisture as possible, then coarsely chop.
Step 2
ingredients: 1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 small onion (finely chopped)
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
instructions: Heat milk and cream in a small saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until warm. Meanwhile, cook onion in butter in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Whisk in flour and cook roux (the milk and cream mixture you made above), whisking, 3 minutes. Add warm milk mixture in a fast stream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, and simmer, whisking, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 3
ingredients: 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
instructions: Stir in nutmeg, spinach, and salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring, until heated through.
