This recipe for creamed spinach is from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse website. She has been gracious enough to provide her recipes for this dish and a couple of others on her website Recipe for Ruth's Chris Creamed Spinach.
What you'll need:
1 stick salted butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk or half and half
2 tbs chopped onion
1 bay leaf (size of a dime)
¼ tsp salt
1 lb fresh spinach, well cleaned and stemmed
2 tbs salted soft butter
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
You can get the detailed directions for the method at her website.
I used the half and half instead of the milk and omitted the butter that is added as the final step. It was rich and delicious, and I'll be making this one again.
