My Cream Spinach recipe I show you today in this post.

The leaf spinach is super healthy, it helps to lose weight and alleviates cravings.

As a side dish, it is a pleasure to put on the table, so today we want to take care of the preparation.

3. Prepare Cream Spinach, the Essentials at a Glance

Popeye has bought the green vegetables dozens of times and has always been big and strong… so that you can simply put the wonderful side dish on the table, I have summarized the most important points here:

I would like to wash the leaves several times in cold water.
Remove unattractive leaves, I like to leave the leaf stalks on the leaves, this means more fibre on the vegetables.
You need onion or shallots and some garlic.
Don’t forget butter or ghee and organic cream.
I always bind the creamed spinach with cornflour.
Salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste.

Important: Packaged leaf spinach is often washed in chlorinated water, so it has a longer shelf life. Therefore, it is essential to wash it again in cold water at home!

… Blubb spinach tastes homemade absolutely delicious.
Tip from chef Thomas Sixt

Mixed spinach leaves need binding, otherwise liquid and vegetables separate. Outlet spinach looks terrible and does not taste good. For a good result, use cold-mixed starch. © Foodfotograf Thomas Sixt
