2 medium sized shallots
2 Tbsp butter
2 10-ounce boxes of frozen spinach
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 C chicken broth
1/2 C sour cream
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 Tbsp black pepper
1 C shredded Parmesan cheese
Directions
- Remove frozen spinach from packages and thaw. You can either do this naturally or in the microwave.
- Using a colander, press as much water as possible out of the spinach. Set aside to continue to drain.
- In a large skillet, head butter over medium.
- Add shallots to skillet and cook until shallots begin to caramelize.
- Once shallots are soft, add spinach to skillet and combine ingredients with a wooden spoon.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, chicken broth, sour cream, salt, cayenne, and pepper to skillet and stir until all ingredients are incorporated throughout.
- Once ingredients are mixed, add Parmesan cheese. Continue to fold in cheese with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until all cheese is melted and no longer visible.
- Reduce heat to low and cook for 5-10 minutes, until spinach achieves desired thickness.
- Serve hot. Enjoy!
- If you like a creamier spinach, add another 1/2 C of sour cream.
- If you like a spicier creamed spinach, add more cayenne or top with crushed red pepper.
- If you like a cheesier creamed spinach, add another cup of Parmesan or Asiago.
- This recipe makes many servings. Awesome boyfriend and I each ate about 1/2 C with dinner then I bagged the rest into sandwich bags and packed them for lunch for a few days.
- Remember, spinach does have carbs. It also has a lot of fiber so it's okay to enjoy this, but make sure that you do so in moderation. A serving should be 1/2-1 C, depending on how good you've been that day. Definitely do not eat the whole bunch in on sitting.
When you add spinach to the pan it will turn a bright green color. Continue to cook until it looks more like the above picture. |
