The boys at home know that if they see Iβm making creamed spinach they’re in for a treat, but I didnβt make the usual same ole creamed spinach, I made Creamy Spinach with Blue Cheese Sauce to go with Grilled Porterhouse Steaks, Crumbed Mushrooms and Parmesan Rosemary Roast Potatoes.

CREAMED SPINACH WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE
Ingredients
1 Packet baby spinach
2 tblsp butter
1 clove
1 shallot
2 minced garlic cloves
Method
Poach spinach in a little water till wilted.
Drain and squeeze out excess water.
Melt butter in pan and add clove.
Infuse cloves for about 30 seconds and then remove the clove.

Add the spinach and fry for a few minutes.
Add the Blue Cheese Sauce bring to a simmer and then take off heat.
Ideally, it should be served immediately.
BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

3 tblsp butter
3 tblsp flour
200 ml cream
100 ml warm milk
100 gr blue cheese
50 gr grated parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper
Method
Melt butter on low heat, when frothy add the flour and stir till a roux is formed and golden in colour.
Make sure flour is well incorporated and you have a smooth paste before adding the milk. Stir in warm milk using a whisk.
Add cream and seasoning stirring continuously till mixture thickens.
Take off the heat and stir in cheeses, stirring until cheese completely melted. (Depending on the type of blue cheese you use you may want to use an emergence blender).

Everything except the spinach sound awesome!! ππ
I will not use blue cheese in the spinach, one thing I do not eat, but substitute it for sure.
