Creamed Spinach (and other Power Greens)
The
fall weather always makes me want to make warm, cozy dishes, but with those can
sometimes come higher calories. I like
this recipe because it has all of the flavors you want, but with less fat. Serve alongside a pork chop or simply
seasoned protein.
Ingredients:
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup onions, diced
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 cup skim milk
- 2 tbsp parmesan cheese, freshly
grated
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp fresh pepper
- salt to taste
- 4 oz cream cheese, reduced
fat
- 16 oz bag fresh Spinach and Power
Greens
Directions:
In a
large sauté pan, heat oil and cook onion for about 5 minutes.
Add
flour to onions and whisk. Cook for one more minute so flour ‘cooks’ out that
raw taste.
Slowly
whisk in milk, parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Add cream cheese, continue to whisk until
smooth.
Add
salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
