Garlic Creamed Spinach
Garlic Creamed Spinach – Creamy garlicky spinach that you can make in 15 mins and takes only 5 ingredients. A healthy and delicious side dish.
Creamed spinach is side dish that I recently fell in love with. Last week, I was in South Pacific and the first hotel that I stayed at served an amazing garlic creamed spinach that I just couldn’t stop eating. It’s something very simple that goes with anything.
After I came home, I knew that I had to recreate this dish as I love spinach and spinach is one of the very few vegetables little G would eat.
So I got myself a pack of heavy whipping cream, a box of organic baby spinach and I developed this garlic creamed spinach recipe.
I love how simple it is to make this healthy side dish. It calls for the most basic five (5) ingredients and takes less than 15 minutes.
While many love their creamed spinach to be super soft, I love mine moderately cooked so the spinach still appear vibrant green but perfectly soft and wilted. Try my easy recipe, it’s really amazing!

Awesome Rasa. Just incredible as only yesterday I was wondering who could help me find this recipe exactly the way you present it. I targeted the Spinach but also another vegetable called Amaranth, known as Dodo in East Africa and Renga Renga in Central Africa. Amaranth leaves are popular in many African cuisines and are known for their nutritional value and versatility in cooking.
I will try this on Dodo and see how it works. Please propose us same on Dodo if you can find them in your location. Thanks a lot. Love your recipes.
Thanks Sixela! :)
