Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh spinach
- 100 grams Roquefort cheese
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Set aside to drain in a colander.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the spinach to the skillet in batches, allowing each addition to wilt slightly before adding more. Cook until all the spinach is wilted, about 4-5 minutes.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet, stirring it into the spinach evenly.
Break the Roquefort cheese into small pieces and add it to the skillet. Stir until it melts and combines with the cream, creating a smooth sauce.
Season the dish with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to incorporate.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove from heat and transfer the Spinach Au Roquefort to a serving dish. Serve immediately as a side or enjoy on its own with crusty bread.
