Creamed Spinach

By bbarton81

Ingredients

• 3 lbs fresh spinach, stems discarded, coarsely chopped (about 24 packed cups)
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 1/2 small onions, minced
• 2/4 cup heavy cream
• pinch of fresh ground nutmeg
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Wash the spinach and drain in sieve. Don't dry the spinach - leave the water clinging to the leaves.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the wet spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Transfer the spinach to the sieve and press out as much liquid as possible.

Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in the spinach, cream, and nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Cook the spinach, stirring occasionally until most of the cream is absorbed, about 4 minutes.
