Servings: 0
Ingredients
- 32 ounces chopped frozen spinach two 16 oz bags
- 2 tablespoons regular butter
- 1 cup uncooked onions diced into bite-size pieces
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg or to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
- 12 ounces low-fat evaporated milk
- 1/8 teaspoon table salt or to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground, or to taste
Instructions
- Place one bag of frozen spinach in a covered glass container. Microwave on high for 8 minutes; spoon into a colander in the sink to drain. Repeat with second bag of spinach and add to same colander; use a large serving spoon to press excess water out of spinach. Place drained spinach in a serving bowl; cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat; stir in onion and kosher salt. Cook onion, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add flour, nutmeg and cayenne; stir to combine. Slowly whisk in evaporated milk; cook, whisking constantly, until thick and bubbling, about 5 to 7 minutes. Pour sauce into a blender or food processor (or use an immersion blender in the pot); blend sauce until smooth.
- Pour sauce over spinach and toss to combine; season with salt and black pepper. Yields about 3/4 cup per serving.
