Dropping Back strap and tenderloins in the sous vide shortly. Then will sear in cast iron. Would like a nice cream spinach recipe to pair it with. Anyone?

couple packs of frozen spinach, boiled in salt water and drained.
1/2 stick butter and half cup of flour to make a blonde roux.
Whisk in heavy cream.
Mix in with spinach until you get your preferred consistency.
Add/top with cheese if you like.
Adding nutmeg is a game changer imo.

ETA: that’s off the top of my head, I’ve got a written recipe somewhere

Blanch spinach
Squeeze all moisture out of spinach and chop
Sauté shallot and garlic
Deglaze with white wine
Reduce cream
Add spinach
Season

No need for roux

That’s pretty much how I do it. I like a pinch of ground clove in there.

It's probably nutmeg which is very common to this.

What Cablewood said.

If you have it, a grind or so of nutmeg is also nice.

I totally abolished garlic and most onions from my kitchen years ago.
This is the one for me.
Thanks!

Thanks to all posting on this thread. Creamed spinach is a dish that I love, but so often forget about

Gosh, I hope it was for a medically necessary reason.
I dunno how to cook savory food without garlic, onion, and all of the onion cousins (shallots, green onions, leeks, ramps, etc)

What restaurants near Baton Rouge area serve this as a side? I’m realizing now how rare this is.

I've not seen spinach madeleine as a side in a restaurant, but a place like Bergeron's City Market may sell it in their prepared foods section.

Most steakhouses will served creamed spinach as a side. Ruth's Chris serves it and it's excellent.

You can also get it au gratin style at Ruth’s where they top it with cheese and bake. Very good.

I agree. I love either of those spinach sides and a side of sweet potato casserole, among other sides, but those are my favorites.
