creamed spinach if you’ve never had it it may not sound especially appetizing but if you have had it or rather had a good recipe you know that it is a delicious side dish that works with just about any main course my favorite has always been Boston Market’s creamed spinach but over the last several years they’ve begun closing pretty much every location in every town I happen to ever be in so I had little choice but to start making my own copycat recipe and that’s what this video is about today we’re making my copycat recipe of Boston Markets creamed spinach side dish a little cheesy a little creamy perfectly seasoned and best of all you can make it with the most inexpensive frozen spinach [Music] foreign [Music] as always let’s get started by taking a look at our ingredient lineup first we’ve got some spinach today I’m just using two 10 ounce packages of frozen spinach you can however use fresh if you prefer then I’ve got a large yellow onion finely chopped some whole milk minced garlic parmesan cheese I happen to have a block of fresh parmesan so that’s what I’ve used here but you can certainly use the store-bought Shaker cheese if that’s what you have then some butter nutmeg kosher salt black pepper and some all-purpose flour and another quick note about the spinach if you’re using Frozen be sure that it’s thawed and that you’ve squeezed the majority of that excess water out of it and if you’re using fresh just give your spinach leaves a quick blanch then squeeze them as dry as you can in a towel and give them a pretty good chop moving over to the stove we’re gonna start by melting our butter in our saucepan over me medium high heat when that butter is about melted we’re going to throw in our onions and saute those until they’re just about translucent but not brown then we’re going to throw in the garlic and cook that for a couple minutes now we’re going to add our all-purpose flour to those buttery onions and garlic stirring very thoroughly and cooking for a solid couple minutes this will be the simple Roux that we use to make what is essentially a cream sauce now we’re going to start adding in the milk I’m going to pour it in very gradually little by little whisking constantly I’ll let it start to thicken up just a little bit before I add another splash of that milk whisking the whole time this will give us a nice smooth creamy sauce that doesn’t have lumps next I’m adding in that parmesan cheese nutmeg salt and black pepper give it all a good stir and by the way don’t skip out on that nutmeg it might seem like a bit of an odd ingredient for a Savory dish like this but that little touch of nutmeg really is the magic ingredient that gives this creamed spinach that signature taste and finally we’re adding in the spinach give this a really good stir to make sure that clumped up spinach is evenly distributed throughout the sauce and it’s ready to serve feel free to call it a spinach or vegetable dish if that’ll make you feel better about eating it but let’s not kid ourselves the deliciousness of creamed spinach certainly comes from the butter and milk and parmesan cheese so while it may not be a healthy dish per se using that spinach as the medium from which all those delicious flavors are being delivered surely still counts as eating your vegetables for the day so give this cheesy Savory spinachy side dishes shot and it’s sure to become a favorite for the whole family be sure to like And subscribe and stay up to date with all our latest stuff including future cooking videos thanks for watching and we’ll see you next time right here in the Great Lakes kitchen
