CREAMED SPINACH

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
• 2. Peel and finely chop the onions and garlic, then place in a large frying pan on a low heat with 2 tablespoons of oil and the oregano. 3. Finely grate in half the nutmeg and fry gently for 10 minutes, or until soft but not coloured, stirring regularly. 4. Add the spinach, turn the heat up to medium and cook down for 15 to 20 minutes, or until any liquid has evaporated. 5. Meanwhile, roughly chop the cold butter, grate the cheese and place in a food processor with the flour, oats and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Pulse into a nice crumble texture (or rub together by hand), then remove to a plate. 6. Put the cooked spinach mixture into the processor (there's no need to clean it), then add the crème fraîche and blitz for 1 minute. 7. Taste and season to perfection, then tip evenly into a baking dish (20cm x 30cm). Sprinkle over the crumble and bake for around 45 minutes, or until golden and bubbling.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth; cook, stirring, until the mixture lightens, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat; whisk in the milk, 2 teaspoons salt and the nutmeg. Return to medium heat and bring to a boil, whisking. Remove from the heat again; stir to cool slightly.
• Heat a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and 1 teaspoon salt; cover and cook about 3 minutes. Toss with tongs, then continue to wilt, uncovered, about 2 more minutes. Drain and cool slightly, then squeeze the spinach until dry. Coarsely chop.
• Gently reheat the sauce, then whisk in the whole egg and yolks; cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens. Stir in the spinach; heat through. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In batches, saute the spinach in a large saute pan over high heat until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• In the same pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic; cook until translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the butter and flour; cook for 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk and bring to a boil (it will thicken as comes to a boil). Turn off the heat and stir in the Parmesan, nutmeg and sauteed spinach.
• Serve immediately or hold in a low oven.

CREAMED SPINACH ('RAHMSPINAT')

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat and sweat the shallot inside the butter for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add the flour and sweat the butter-onion-flour-mixture ('roux') for 3-4 minutes until the flour starts smelling nutty but is still pale in color. Add the milk bit by bit stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent your sauce from turning lumpy. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat to the lowest setting, add one bay leaf, and let the sauce simmer gently for 10-15 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
• In the meantime, blanch the spinach in plenty of salted boiling water for 20-30 seconds, just until wilted. Work in smaller batches and immediately after blanching the spinach put it inside an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Once all your spinach is blanched, drain the water and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. You want your spinach to be dry and not watery. Roughly chop the spinach on a large cutting board.
• Season your sauce to taste with sugar, lemon juice, nutmeg, pepper, and salt. Take out the bay leaf and add the spinach into your sauce. Let the spinach heat through for 1-2 minutes, then adjust the seasoning if required.

Steps:

• Wash the spinach in several changes of water to get rid of any grit. Drain the spinach but keep some of the water clinging to the leaves. Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the spinach and garlic. Cook, turning frequently, until the spinach has wilted down evenly. Remove the garlic and put the spinach into a colander and let it drain well. Press out as much liquid as you can from the leaves and chop them coarsely.
• Heat the skillet again over medium-high heat and add the cream and nutmeg; cook until it reduces a bit, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the spinach is hot, about 5 more minutes. Serve immediately.
