Creamed Spinach Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the fresh spinach and blanch for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Drain and immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking. Once cooled, squeeze out excess water and chop the spinach.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 10-12 minutes until caramelized, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the heavy cream, bourbon, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Add Spinach and Cheese

    Add the chopped spinach and Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for another 3-5 minutes until heated through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Adjust seasoning if needed and serve warm as a side dish.
