Ingredients
- 1 pound baby spinach (You can substitute frozen spinach)
- 4 lices of bacon diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 medium onion diced fine
- 3/4 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 Tablespoons flour
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Blanch spinach in batches by cooking it in salted, boiling water for a few seconds, then plunging it in ice water to stop the cooking. (To save time, use frozen, chopped spinach!)
- Squeeze out excess liquid and chop.
- In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, saute bacon 2 or 3 minutes. Add diced onion and continue to cook until onion is translucent another 3 or 4 minutes. Add garlic, spinach and seasonings and cook another minute.
- In a medium saucepan, heat butter until melted. Add flour, stirring with a spoon until flour is incorporated and begins to turn slightly golden, about 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook until sauce begins to thicken about 3 minutes.
- Add cream sauce to the spinach mixture.
- In a food processor pulse spinach 3 or 4 times. It should retain its texture. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
- Can be made a day ahead of time.
