Ingredients
8ozspinach
3clovesgarlic
olive oil spray
1tablespoonWorcestershire
1tablespoonflour
1cupunsweetened cashew milk
1tablespoonsour cream
kosher salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat garlic in olive oil spray over medium heat for a few minutes until fragrant- add the fresh spinach leaves and cook down until wilted.
Add the Worcestershire to the pan and toss to coat.
Add more olive oil spray, and sprinkle flour on top of the spinach and garlic mixture- use a whisk to break down the flour so it’s not clumpy and doesn’t burn, then add the milk.
Let the milk come to a boil/rapid simmer, while whisking- it will mix with the flour and become thick.
Cook for about 10 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the mixture resembles the texture of creamed spinach, a creamy consistency. Stir in the sour cream, season with salt and pepper.
