Ingredients
• 1 pound fresh spinach, about 2 large bunches
• 3 to 4 strips of bacon, uncooked, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• A pinch of nutmeg
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 2 Tbsp flour
• 1 cup whole milk
1 Cut off the thick stems of the spinach and discard. Clean the spinach
by filling up your sink with water and soaking the spinach to loosen
any sand or dirt. Drain the spinach and then repeat soaking and draining.
2 Blanch the spinach in a pot of boiling water until the spinach is
wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water to stop
the spinach from cooking further. Squeeze the spinach to remove all
the moisture possible. Chop the spinach and set aside.
3 Heat a large skillet on medium high. Add the chopped bacon and sauté
until the bacon begins to render some of its fat. Add the chopped
onion and garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent.
4 Make the béchamel sauce. Melt butter in a small saucepan on medium/low
heat until it just starts to bubble. Add the flour and cook, stirring
until smooth, about 2 minutes. Slowly add the milk, whisking continuously,
cooking until thick.
5 Combine spinach, bacon and onion mixture, and béchamel sauce into
one pan. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer,
remove from heat and serve.
Serves 4.
