Spinach in Coconut Cream

Spinach in Coconut Cream pairs tender wilted greens with a lush coconut milk sauce, rounded out by earthy mushrooms, aromatic shallot, and a hint of garlic. A splash of white wine vinegar brightens the richness, while nutmeg adds a gentle warmth. Serve this comforting side alongside roasted meats or grilled fish, or bring it to a holiday table for a flavorful twist on classic creamed spinach.

Spinach in Coconut Cream
  1. 1

    Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, shallot, and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the spinach gradually by handfuls, stirring as it wilts. Keep adding until all the spinach is in the skillet, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Slowly pour in the coconut milk and vinegar and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it simmer until it thickens, 4 to 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of freshly ground nutmeg. Serve right away.
