Chef Tips

- Wash the spinach leaves under running water and discard the thicker, fibrous stems before preparation. - Gently squeeze the sauteed spinach if it releases excess liquid in the pot before pouring into the blender. - Keep the heat very low in the final stage so that the heavy cream does not boil vigorously or curdle.

Variations

- Add 1/2 cup of finely grated Parmesan cheese to the cream in the pan to intensify the density and salt. - Add 1 generous pinch of freshly grated nutmeg to bring the traditional perfume of bistro cuisine. - Gratin the spinach cream in individual ramekins with mozzarella in the oven at 200°C for 10 minutes.

Substitutions

- Fresh spinach can be replaced by 300g of thawed and well-squeezed frozen spinach. - Olive oil can be exchanged for 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter for a classic French profile. - Traditional heavy cream can be swapped for fresh ricotta cream or light culinary requeijão.

How to Store

Store the cream in an airtight glass container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, take to the pan over low heat stirring with a spatula and adding 1 tablespoon of milk if the mixture has thickened excessively in the cold.

Can You Freeze It?

Freezing is not recommended for this cream-based dessert. When thawing, the vegetable water separates from the milk fat globules, leaving the cream with a curdled appearance and sandy texture.

What to Serve With

It is the perfect garnish for grilled beef steaks, roast chicken breast, grilled salmon, or white rice. It also works as a velvety filling for crispy ciabatta toasts or baked potatoes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to remove the rough sensation that spinach leaves on the teeth?

Parboiling or sautéing the leaves well and combining with dairy fats (heavy cream and cheese) neutralizes the oxalate.

Can I prepare without blending in the blender?

Yes, chop the leaves very finely on the cutting board and add the cream directly to the pan for a rustic texture.

What is the best type of spinach for this recipe?

New Zealand-style broad-leaf soft spinach or baby spinach are ideal due to their low fiber content.

Como manter o creme com coloração verde bem viva?

Não cozinhe o espinafre por mais tempo que o necessário e evite tampar a panela por períodos prolongados.
