This recipe is perfect for those who are looking for a low carb alternative to traditional creamed spinach without compromising on flavor or texture.

Ingredients:

1/2 package spinach
140g
1 cauliflower
260g
1 onion
110g
1/2 cup low moisture mozzarella cheese
54g
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
30g
1 tbsp butter
14g
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1.10g
1/8 tsp cloves powder
1/4g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Wash and chop the cauliflower into small florets.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Rinse the spinach thoroughly and chop it if needed.
2. Cook the Cauliflower:
- 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.
3. Sauté the Onions and Spinach:
- 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.
4. Combine the Ingredients:
- Once the spinach is wilted, add the cooked cauliflower to the skillet.
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream and reduce the heat to low.
5. Season and Mix:
- 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.
6. Add the Cheese:
- 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.
7. Serve:
- 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.
