Creamed Spinach

Creamed spinach is a rich and indulgent side dish made by simmering tender spinach leaves in a luscious mixture of cream, milk, and butter, thickened with a touch of flour. The result is a silky-smooth, creamy texture that perfectly complements the slightly bitter, earthy flavor of the spinach, creating a harmonious balance of flavors and a comforting, satisfying dish.

Creamed spinach, a rich and velvety dish, pairs well with a crisp Albariño or a light-bodied Pinot Noir. The Albariño's high acidity cuts through the cream and butter, while its citrus and mineral notes complement the spinach. Alternatively, a Pinot Noir's red fruit flavors and subtle earthiness enhance the dish's savory character. A sparkling wine's effervescence also refreshes the palate between bites.
