PFF ~ Creamed Spinach for Nozipho

This PFF (Post for a friend) is for Nozipho, Who was my co-worker of 5 years. She is also mother of Lifa, whom has become my little brother. (I love that little dude)

 

Nozipho,

Here is a recipe for creamed spinach. I put it for you onto the internet.You can't lose the recipe!!!

250g Spinach (Rinsed well)

1 Tablespoon Butter

1 tablespoon Flour

1 Cup Milk

Salt and pepper

1. Start by melting the butter and add the flour. Mix this together until it becomes dough while still over the heat.
   
   
   
2. Slowly add the milk. Add a bit and mix and a bit more and mix. If you add everything at once the sauce will have lumps. Boil it for 10 minutes.
3. If the sauce is too thick add a bit more milk, then flavour with salt and pepper.
   
   
   
4. Put your white sauce aside and cook the spinach. You can chop it up (I chop it up with the white veins) or you could steam the whole leaves an pull them apart later with the sauce (like my mother) (*note to other readers we steam the spinach in just a bit of water. Boiling it would destroy the leaves and ruin the colour and taste)
   
   
   
5. When the spinach is cooked add the white sauce.

Tips for you:

• It’s not called creamed spinach because there’s cream in it. It’s because the spinach is fine. But if you feel like getting a bit fat, you can add a touch of cream. A TOUCH NOZIPHO!
• If you are lazy to make white sauce buy this from Knorr
• When you are feeling even lazier but some of that frozen spinach
• I usually add a bit of Aromat to my sauce.
• You can add a bit of cheese, especially for my little brother.
• Add this to a boil potato for that potato at Zuppaninni.

Nonos let me know if you came right. <3
