Ingredients

    Cream-less Creamed Spinach
    (2 servings)

    Ingredients:

    •1lb Frozen, Chopped Spinach
    •¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
    •3 Tablespoons of Flour
    •6 Tablespoons of Clarified Butter (Boil butter to separate; use the clear, yellow portion that remains)
    •2 Tablespoons of Chicken Base (powdered)
    •Salt and White Pepper, to taste


Directions

1. Add Frozen, Chopped Spinach, baking soda and 2 cups of water to a pot; bring to a boil.

2. In a separate pan, combine the clarified butter and flour to create Roux (pronounced “roo”). Leave to the side until ready for use.

3. After the spinach boils for about 5 to 10 minutes, drain water into another pot and squeeze the excess water out of the spinach.

4. Add chicken base, salt and white pepper to 2 cups of the remaining water and bring to a boil.

5. Once boiling, lower the flame and stir in Roux to tighten (make it thicker).

6. Combine this mixture with the spinach, stir and enjoy!

Time: Approximately 10-15 minutes
