Green Curry Creamed Spinach

Ingredients

• 800 g spinach, blanched and squeezed dry
• 1 cup water
• 40 g unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 2 tbsp plain flour
• 1/2 cup sliced onion
• 1 x Marion’s Kitchen Thai Green Curry Kit , which includes:
• – GREEN CURRY PASTE
• – COCONUT MILK
• – DRIED THAI HERBS AND CHILLI
• – BAMBOO SHOOTS
• Sea salt, to taste
• Red chilli julienned, to serve (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, onion and all components from the Thai Green Curry Kit (green curry paste, coconut milk and included herbs). Bring to the boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and discard the kaffir lime leaves and dried chilli.

2. 2

   Take the pan off the heat. Add the flour and butter to the hot curry mixture, then blend with a stick blender until smooth and creamy.

3. 3

   Return the pan to medium heat and stir through the spinach until well combined. Bring back to a gentle boil, then simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until the spinach is tender and the sauce has thickened to a creamy consistency. Season with salt to taste.

4. 4

   Spoon into a warm serving bowl. It is the perfect all-rounder side to serve with roast meats, grilled seafood or your favourite festive mains.
