Ingredients

Chopped frozen spinach

32 oz, two 16 oz bags

Salted butter

2 tbsp(s)

Onion

1 cup(s), diced into bite-size pieces

Kosher salt

1 tsp(s)

All-purpose flour

2 tbsp(s)

Ground nutmeg

⅛ tsp(s), or to taste

Cayenne pepper

⅛ tsp(s), or to taste

Low-fat evaporated milk

12 oz

Table salt

⅛ tsp(s), or to taste

Black pepper

⅛ pinch(es), freshly ground, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Place one bag of frozen spinach in a covered glass container. Microwave on high for 8 minutes; spoon into a colander in the sink to drain. Repeat with second bag of spinach and add to same colander; use a large serving spoon to press excess water out of spinach. Place drained spinach in a serving bowl; cover to keep warm.
  2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat; stir in onion and kosher salt. Cook onion, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add flour, nutmeg and cayenne; stir to combine. Slowly whisk in evaporated milk; cook, whisking constantly, until thick and bubbling, about 5 to 7 minutes. Pour sauce into a blender or food processor (or use an immersion blender in the pot); blend sauce until smooth.
  3. Pour sauce over spinach and toss to combine; season with salt and black pepper. Yields about 3/4 cup per serving.
