And the DDD said “Hello” politely to each of them, putting down her stick in order to do so, and them most politely picked her stick up again and trotted on.
Now she has eaten almost all her morning ration of food, which was Mixed Kibble, lamb-and-rice and fish-and-potato, and seems to have deceived her because she has left a few pieces of bit of each. Hurrah!
Blanch the spinach just to thaw. Drain well and squeeze dry as you can. Melt plenty of butter, and add finely chopped garlic then the chopped spinach. Cook over a gentle heat, stirring frequently for 3-4 mins. Increase the heat and add two or three tablespoons of cream, bring almost to the boil and simmer until the cream is slightly reduced. Season with nutmeg and a squeeze of lemon.
You can use more cream - consistency of this is very much a matter of taste.
More or less like Gus’ method, but I sometimes add a tablespoonful of flour to the sweated onions/garlic/butter mix & then add the cream slowly & finally the spinach & let it cook gently for 10 minutes
It depends on what I have, & how ‘robust’ I would like it to be . I have been known to use Semi-Skilled Milk & half a veggie stock cube when making it at the Campsite & no access to proper cream
Thank you both. I shall proceed hopefully and see what happens. Guest may arrive any time now, so I can peel some potatoes before he does and get them ready to oven-fry, and then add fried onions to them once they are ready for it and simmer the whole lot in the oven – as it were.
