One last quick side dish before you embark on your holiday dinner journey! This one is a quick and easy option for when you really want something different! Creamed spinach and mushrooms is an elegant side dish with punch. This is super simple to make and gives a nice green option that isn't a green bean casserole (truthfully, not my favorite!) The earthy combination of spinach, mushrooms and cream lends itself to everything from a fine filet mignon to your holiday turkey or standing rib roast. I hope you will consider this for your holiday table!
Nothing could be simpler! Sauteed' mushrooms with minced shallots and garlic, add in spinach and you take your traditional steak house side right over the top. In fact this is the happiest of marriages of two steak house favorites! Sauteed mushrooms and creamed spinach come together for a most amazing mash up that will send your guests to heaven and wonder how they ever lived without it! All kidding aside, this is just good and simple. Two of my favorite things.
This dish takes all of ten to fifteen minutes to throw together and even if its an afterthought, you can easily make this with provisions you most likely set in for the big day. Spinach is a great option to traditional green beans, peas or broccoli and adds a nice twist for people when they want something a little unusual. Don't think this only belongs next to a nice cut of meat. THis side dish is just as at home next to your favorite poultry and people, including yourself are going to love it.
After the mushrooms are sauteed perfectly add in as much spinach as your skillet will hold. Pop on the lid and let it go for a few minutes, go back with some tongs and squidge it up a bit and see how quick it cooked down! Keep on adding more spinach till you reach your desired amount then add in the cream in a couple of additions. If it doesn't thicken the way you like, add in a couple tablespoons of Wondra flour. A staple that should be in every pantry. This will give you the thickness desired to move forward to the finish. When your spinach reaches the perfect creaminess, dust with a bit of freshly grated nutmeg and stir. Now you are ready to go.
I hope you give this delicious side dish option a try for your holiday meal or anytime and I hope you love it!
Happy Eating and Happy Holidays!
