Creamed Spinach

Anyone have a simple recipe for creamed spinach? I have two cans in the pantry was thinking of making some.

This one on epicurious.com is almost exactly my recipe.

You can substitute frozen or canned spinach, just make sure it's very well drained.

Thanks Jen252. I'll pick up the heavy cream tomorrow. I never thought nutmeg would be an ingredient!
I may have a bit of frozen spinach somewhere on the bottom of my freezer. The first time I saw frozen spinach in this country was weird. They're like little spinach pods in a bag. I don't recall frozen spinach being packaged like that in the US.

nutmeg & spinach are gorgeous together!

i akways loved the creamed spinach from boston market.

YES !!! BOSTON MARKET!! Thank God!! I've been sitting her trying to remember the name of that place. When I worked for the airlines we used to go there for lunch a few times a week. DE-LISH!!!!!

Mmmmm.... I love creamed spinach! Such a pity it doesn't like me.  :\\\'(

I might have to nip down to the Boston Market a few minutes from here. Mmmm....cornbread!!

I like the spinach pods!! It makes it so easy to do portions and little waste.

Creamed spinach is one of my favs but I tend to just wing it.

I just take a bag of spinach and rinse it, then cram it into the biggest saucepan I have to wilt it down. I don't add water or anything, just what ever was clinging to the leaves from rinsing it. After it is wilted but still bright green, I mash it against the side of the pan and drain the green juice away.

Then I add what ever is handy in the fridge - a large spoonful of low fat creme fraiche, or even a spoonful of fat free philly cream cheese. You can add nutmeg, or sometimes I use garlic, or pan roasted pinenuts to add additional flavour.

I thought they looked like charcoal briquettes when I first saw them!  They are handier than a giant massive block of frozen veg.

Oooh, speaking of yummy sweet potato mash, Nando's here in the UK have started to do it!! 

Nando's new sweet potato mash is totally delish (if a bit of a rip-off price wise)!!

£3.25 for a smallish (if delicious) portion of sweet potato mash is a bit excessive if you ask me!?

But then Nando's prices are a bit of a rip-off all round if you ask me! Yummy food but over-priced!

Wow! Is this new? Last time I was at our local Nando's they didn't offer anything like that.

Must be! I don't remember seeing it on the menu before last week! 

They've also added a new flavour to their line-up of marinades: Mango & Lime

Their new Mango & Lime flavoured marinade is mild, like their Lemon & Herb one.

I didn't try it but might next time. Not sure if I'll like mango and lime on chicken!? Anyone tried it?

Also did y'all know that you can get them to put their various flavours on their flame-grilled corn on the cob!?

MMMMMmmmmmmm!! Lemon & Herb flavoured, flame-grilled corn on the cob! 

mmmmm liking the sounds of that Mango and Lime marinade... think we'll need to go to Nando's soon

I'm not one for creamed spinach but the little spinach briquette things are mighty handy for putting in quiches.
