500g frozen spinach
1/2 cup of dairy or oat cream or 2 table spoons of mascarpone or 100 ml of the thick part of coconut milk
1 clove of garlic, minced or chopped, or 1/4 tea spoon of garlic powder
1 table spoon of butter or ghee or a splash of olive oil
Salt and pepper to season
Optionally: 1/4 tea spoon of nutmeg powder (goes very well with spinach)
Instructions:
Heat the fat of choice and add garlic. Sauté for a minute.
Add frozen spinach and cover. Once defrosted, cook for 5 minutes. You can also take the spinach out of the freezer 2 hours earlier.
Add the cream of choice or mascarpone, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Indian style variation:

Creamed spinach serving suggestions:
You can serve it with fish and 2-3 boiled baby potatoes.
You can spread it evenly in a frying pan, crumble in some feta or paneer and place eggs on top. Cover the lid and cook until the eggs are done. It will be like a shakshuka style dish - a great any time meal.
You can have it with fried or pached eggs on the side, optionally 2-3 baby potatoes and a glass of kefir / yoghurt.
You can place grilled halloumi on top.
