Ingredients 

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons sunflower oil
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 16 oz frozen spinach thawed and drained
  • 1 large egg whisked
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk fast (to prevent flour form burning) to make a roux. Whisk in sour cream and milk.
  • Add the spinach, egg, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Keep whisking until incorporated and cook on for about 10 minutes, maintaining a simmer throughout.
  • Taste and add more seasoning if needed. Serve warm.

Notes

About garlic powder: In this particular recipe, I prefer powder over fresh garlic. I don't want to bite into a tiny piece of garlic when I eat creamed spinach and the only way I can prevent that is by using  garlic powder. If you're not as picky as me, feel free to use fresh garlic.
