Creamed Spinach

This is a low carb recipe and it is as easy as it gets. It takes a little patience to make the sauce as it takes a while for the sauce to thicken, but it is so worth it.

You need a bunch of spinach, washed, chopped and cooked with chopped onion until all the water has evaporated. Don't add any seasoning at this stage.

Sauce
1 1/2 cup fresh cream
2 T real butter
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 t mustard powder
Pinch of nutmeg

Put all the sauce ingredients into a saucepan and bring slowly to the boil. Stir occasionally. Let it simmer together until the sauce thickens. This can take up to an hour to thicken.
Pour over the spinach and enjoy.

The same sauce can be used for cheese sauce. Omit the nutmeg and add grated cheddar cheese and allow to melt. Use for cauliflower and cheese sauce.
I love cauliflower, but I must admit, I am not a fan of cauli-rice or cauli-mash. I still prefer it with cheese sauce.
