1 kg spinach leaves
1 tbsp butter
1 medium onion(s), or shallots
2 tbsp flour
200 ml cream
 some salt and pepper
  nutmeg, freshly ground
portions

Method

Preparation time: ca. 30 min / Grade of difficulty: medium / Calories per portion: n/a

Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and blanch them in boiling water for 5 minutes. If the stems are a bit tough, you may need to trim them beforehand. Strain spinach and let it cool.

Then chop the leaves. Finely dice the onion or shallots. In a big pot, melt the butter over medium heat, add the onion, and sweat it until it becomes translucent.

Add spinach and continue to cook for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with flour, stir, and add cream. Bring to a boil and let it reduce to the desired consistency.

Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. You may substitute part of the cream with milk or vegetable stock.
