Creamed Spinach Ingredients
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Spinach
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water. Remove any tough stems. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the spinach for about 2 minutes until wilted. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain again and chop the spinach coarsely.
