Creamed Spinach
Bright spinach leaves wilt into a silky, savory cream sauce flecked with garlic and nutmeg — a rich, homey side that balances butter and tang without feeling heavy. Ready in about 30 minutes, it’s an elegant weeknight companion for roasted meats or simply buttered bread.
1 ½ lb fresh spinach, washed and trimmed
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup parmesan, finely grated
1 pinch nutmeg, freshly grated if possible
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
