 W-O-W. This was absolutely decadent and delicious! I saw this recipe on Martha Stewart's website and I knew that I could make a diet-friendly version. Martha's recipe calls for whole milk and butter, both of which were cut out of my version (and not missed one bit!). Honestly, before I took the first bite, I was wary of how it would taste, but it reminded me of the Boston Market creamed spinach, but only better!! I quote my husband, "This is one of the best meals you have made yet." This is definitely going into the regular rotation. Enjoy :)
Oh and I believe the KEY to this being so delicious is the fat free half and half. I have been using this lately as a substitute for whole milk and it has worked wonders! *Swankers, unfortunately I found out that we cannot eat Land O Lakes Fat Free Half and Half because it contains mono-diglycerides, which is basically another form of hydrogenated oil. I will attempt this recipe again with 1% milk or skim milk to see if I can come out with the same results!* Ingredients:
Place the spinach in a large saucepan over medium heat (the spinach will fill up the entire pot) and season with kosher salt. Cover and cook, tossing occasionally, until wilted, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the wilted spinach to a colander, and rinse thoroughly under cold water until completely cooled. Then, put the spinach in a thin towel and squeeze as much liquid out of the spinach as possible. Set aside. In a medium saucepan (I used the same one that I cooked the spinach in), heat the vegetable oil over medium-low heat, add the shallot, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring until soft but not browned for 3 to 5 minutes. Then, add the flour, and continue stirring for one minute (do not let it brown). After that, add the 3/4 cup of fat free half and half. Simmer gently over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened, for 1-2 minutes (or a little longer if necessary). Remove from heat, stir in the spinach and season with more salt and pepper to taste if necessary. ENJOY!

I made this and it was delicious! Very easy to make. I used Publix FF Half and Half and I think it gave it a sweet taste! Next time I will be trying Land O' Lakes to try to decrease the sweetness... 3/3/2011 04:26:49 pm
