Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and chop the cauliflower into small florets.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Rinse the spinach thoroughly and chop it if needed.
- In a large pot, fill with water and bring it to a boil.
- Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender.
- Drain the cauliflower and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and soft.
- Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until wilted. If needed, you can cook the spinach in batches to prevent overcrowding the skillet.
- Once the spinach is wilted, add the cooked cauliflower to the skillet.
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream and reduce the heat to low.
- Add the ground nutmeg, cloves powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine all the ingredients well.
- Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for about 2-3 minutes, giving the flavors time to meld.
- Sprinkle the low moisture mozzarella cheese evenly over the mixture.
- Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is creamy and well combined.
- Remove the skillet from heat and serve the cauliflower creamed spinach hot.
- You can garnish with a pinch of extra black pepper or a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg if desired.
Tips:
- For a smoother texture, steam or boil the cauliflower until very tender before pureeing.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, let the cream mixture reduce for a few extra minutes.
- For added flavor, consider sautéing the onion in butter before mixing it with the cauliflower puree.
- You can use an immersion blender for a quicker and easier way to blend the cauliflower.
- Consider adding garlic or parmesan cheese for extra depth of flavor.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor, but this dish also reheats well.
