Sibley’s Steakhouse Style Creamed Spinach

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 16 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 2 Tbsp diced onion
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tsp Sibley’s Cajun Heritage #1
• 1 Tbsp flour
• ¾ cup heavy cream
• 2 oz cream cheese
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan
• Black pepper, to taste
• Pinch of nutmeg, optional

Directions

1. Squeeze the thawed spinach very dry.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and lightly golden, about 5–7 minutes.
3. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the Cajun Heritage #1 and let it bloom with the onion and garlic for about 20 seconds.
4. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
5. Slowly whisk in the cream. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, until it starts to thicken.
6. Stir in the cream cheese until melted, then add the Parmesan.
7. Fold in the spinach and black pepper. Cook gently for 3–5 minutes. Add the optional nutmeg.
8. If it gets too thick, loosen it with a splash of cream or milk. Taste before adding any more seasoning.
