Gulliver's Creamed Spinach

An online recipe with instructions for making the Gulliver's Creamed Spinach served at Gulliver's Restaurant in the 1980s.

Ingredients

- 10 ounces of spinach
- 3 slices of bacon
- 1 small onion
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
- 3 tablespoons of flour
- 1-1/4 cup of milk

Instructions

Rinse and chop the spinach, place it in a heavy skillet, and steam until wilted, stirring occasionally. (If you are using 10 ounces of frozen spinach, place it over low or medium heat to thaw and allow excess the water to evaporate)

Transfer the spinach to a small bowl and squeeze it until it is completely dry. Grind the bacon and onions or finely chop them.

Place the onions and bacon in a saute pan and cook them together until the bacon is thoroughly cooked. Stir in flour to make smooth paste. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly (a wire whisk makes this easier). Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer it 10 minutes over low heat, until it is thickened. Add the salt and pepper.

Grind the spinach or finely chop it, and stir it into the cream sauce.
