GINA'S SPICY CREAMED SPINACH

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the spinach and simmer for 2 minutes. Drain the spinach in a colander. Press down on the spinach with a clean kitchen towel to release all of the liquid. Remove to a cutting board and roughly chop.
• Heat a large saute pan, over medium-high heat and add the butter and olive oil. When the butter has melted, add the shallots and garlic and saute until fragrant and tender. Stir in the red pepper flakes and spinach. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Saute briefly, then add the heavy cream, nutmeg and Parmesan. Reduce the spinach mixture until it has thickened, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

CREAMED SPINACH

Steps:

• Coat a large, straight-sided saute pan with olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the spinach, cover and saute until gently wilted. Remove the spinach from the pan to a colander set inside a bowl to let the spinach drain and cool.
• Remove any liquid from the bottom of the saute pan and coat lightly with olive oil. Heat the oil over medium heat, add the onions, and season with salt, to taste. Saute the onions until they are translucent and very aromatic, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 2 to 3 more minutes. Add the butter, and when melted stir in the flour. Cook until it is the texture of wet sand, about 5 to 6 minutes. Whisk in the milk, cayenne pepper and Parmigiano. Taste for seasoning and season with salt, if needed, (it will). Bring the milk to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, so the milk doesn t scorch on the bottom.
• Add in the reserved spinach and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

CREAMED SPINACH WITH NUTMEG AND GOLDEN RAISINS

Steps:

• Bring a large kettle half filled with lightly salted water to a boil. Add the spinach, pushing it down into the pot with a large spoon. Cook until the leaves are softened and turn bright green, about 1 minute. Immediately drain the spinach and plunge it into a large bowl of cold water to stop the cooking. When cool, drain well and use your hands to remove as much excess water as possible. Transfer the spinach to a cutting board and chop coarsely.
• Meanwhile, soak the raisins in 1/2 cup of boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain the raisins and chop them coarsely; set aside. Place a large saucepan over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Sprinkle with the flour and cook for an additional 2 minutes, being careful not to let the mixture darken. Add the cream and nutmeg and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the spinach and raisins and cook until heated through. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately as a side dish or as a complement to steamed and sliced chicken breasts.

CREAMED SPINACH

Steps:

• If bulk spinach is used, pick it over to remove and discard any tough stems and blemished leaves. Rinse the spinach thoroughly and shake off excess water. There should be about 2 pounds cleaned weight, or 16 cups.
• Bring enough water to a boil to cover the spinach when it is added and stirred down. Add spinach and cook 2 minutes and drain. Run under cold running water until chilled. Empty the spinach into a deep colander and press to extract most of the water.
• Put the spinach into the container of a food processor or an electric blender and blend thoroughly. There should be about 1 3/4 cups.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. Add the milk, stirring rapidly with the whisk. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, about 5 minutes and add the spinach. Stir to blend. Heat and serve.
