This elegant vegetarian side dish transforms fresh spinach into a silky, sophisticated purée with a deep, savoury flavour. By wilting the leaves in butter and blending them with sharp Dijon mustard and tangy crème fraîche, you create a vibrant green accompaniment that feels far more indulgent than a standard bowl of greens. The addition of finely grated hard cheese provides a salty complexity that balances the natural earthiness of the spinach.
Quick to prepare and naturally gluten-free, this creamed spinach is a versatile addition to your recipe repertoire. It pairs beautifully with roasted root vegetables for a Sunday lunch or serves as a bright, velvety base for poached eggs or grilled fish. Using a high-speed blender ensures a professional, smooth finish that makes this simple vegetable dish feel truly special.
