Recipe Card
ingredients
- 2 large thinly sliced leeks
- 3 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablepoons freshly chopped parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Method
Step 1
Rinse the sliced leeks thoroughly to remove any dirt. It’s easy for dirt to get trapped deep into the leaves of leeks.
Step 2
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the leeks and garlic, and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the leeks become soft and translucent.
Step 3
Add the spinach leaves to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts.
Step 4
Pour in the heavy cream. Sprinkle in the nutmeg, salt, ground black pepper, parsley, and parmesan cheese. Stir to combine all the ingredients until the parmesan cheese melts.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat and serve immediately.
