How to Make Creamed Spinach
- Prepare the yogurt: Line a fine-mesh sieve or coffee filter with cheesecloth and place it over a bowl. Pour 1 cup plain Greek yogurt into the sieve and let it drain in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for a thicker, tangier result).
- Cook the spinach: Cook 10 ounces of fresh spinach (or 1 (10 ounce) package of frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry) according to package directions. Drain very well.
- Sauté the onions: While the spinach cooks, sauté 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion in 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until softened and lightly browned (about 5 minutes).
- Combine ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the drained yogurt, sautéed onions, cooked spinach, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat through: Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until heated through (about 2-3 minutes). Do not boil.
- Serve immediately: Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg (optional) and serve hot as a delightful side dish.
