Ingredients
- ungrouped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 400 g baby spinach
- 45 ml Knorr Creamy Blue Cheese Salad Dressing
- 250 ml cream
- Robertsons salt and pepper
- 100 g walnuts
- pitted green olive to serve
Preparation method
- ungrouped
- Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onions and fry until soft and translucent.
- Add the garlic and cook for one more minute.
- Turn up the heat and add half the spinach. Cook, stirring constantly, until it wilts. Now add the rest of the spinach and continue cooking over a high heat so all the liquid evaporates.
- When the spinach is soft, stir in the KNORR Creamy Blue Cheese Salad Dressing and the cream. Cook for a few more minutes, or until the cream has slightly thickened and reduced. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- In the meantime, toast the walnuts. Place the nuts in a dry frying pan and cook, tossing frequently, over a medium heat, or until they are hot and golden. Watch them closely so they don’t burn.
- Serve the creamed spinach hot, topped with the toasted walnuts and green olives.
