    German Creamed Spinach


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    2 to 3 large bunches (2 pounds) fresh spinach leaves
    Cream Sauce
    Salt and pepper to taste


    Recipe



    Wash spinach leaves thoroughly. In a large saucepan, cook spinach in as little water as possible until tender. As soon as spinach is thoroughly wilted, remove from heat, and drain in a colander, pressing with the back of a kitchen spoon to squeeze out excess liquid. Place on a cutting board; cut cooked spinach very fine.

    In a medium bowl, mix together Cream Sauce and spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

    NOTE: If spinach bunches are extra large, you probably will need to double the Cream Sauce recipe.

    Makes 6 to 8 servings.

    CREAM SAUCE:
    2 tablespoon butter
    2 tablespoon finely chopped onion
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    Salt and pepper to taste
    1 cup milk

    In a large frying pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion and saute until soft; add flour and blend thoroughly. When perfectly smooth and free from lumps but not in the least browned, add salt and pepper. Gradually add milk; reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce boils (may use some spinach juice in place of milk).
