Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 10 oz. of Fresh Spinach
  • 1 TBSP. of minced (fresh or already minced) garlic
  • ½ Medium Onion Diced
  • 1 Stick of Butter (8 TBSP)
  • 1 TBSP of Flour
  • ⅓ dry mix of SOS sauce (Recipe at: https://thethriftycouple.com/sos)
  • 1¼ Cup of Water
Instructions
  1. First, in a sauté pan, on medium heat, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic with 6 TBSP. of the butter.
  2. While that is sauteing, in a second sauce pan, melt the remaining 2 TBSP of butter in a sauce pan. Once melted, stir-in the 1 TBSP of flour until it soaks up the butter and makes a rue.
  3. Once the rue is present, then mix in ⅓ cup of SOS mix and 1¼ cup of water to the rue and cook on medium heat stirring often until it is mixed, bubbly and lump free, stirring often with a whisk.
  4. While you are waiting for the SOS mix to cook, in the first sauce pan, once the onions have a nicely caramelized from butter sauteing, add in the spinach and cook until it shrinks significantly and is cooked through. This only takes a couple of minutes. You may need to add the spinach a little by little as it may not all fit in the saute pan at one time.
  5. Once the spinach is cooked and the sauce is bubbly and lump free, mix it into the spinach.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
You will want to cook the sauce on medium to low and stir with a whisk often to prevent burning. It is milk based cream and so it will burn easily if cooked to fast or not stirred often enough. If you find it to be too creamy for your liking, you can always add more cooked spinach! More Recipe Ideas with SOS mix:
