Re: Creamed Spinach Recipes?
there's almost no carbs in most creamed spinach recipes.... but they're all pretty fattening
here's mine:
1 shallot-minced 1.5 T butter 1/2t cayenne 1 t sweet paprika salt 1T flour 2 packs chopped spinach, thawed and drained 1/2 cup 1/2 and 1/2
sautee the shallot in the butter until clear (avoid browning). Add the spices and let cook for about 30s on the heat. Add flour and make a roux. Add 2/3 of half and half. stir until lumps are gone and sauce has thickened. Add spinach and simmer for about 10 min, stirring occassionally.
