Spinach Banger
Meet the Spinach Banger... the creamed spinach that refuses to play backup. This velvety, fire-kissed classic gets leveled up with my signature All Season Banger, bringing that bold, savory depth you already know and love. Bright lemon zest cuts through the richness with a pop of citrusy swagger, and it’s all finished with a hearty snowfall of freshly grated Parmesan that melts right into the folds. It’s lush, it’s loud, it’s balanced ... and it absolutely steals the plate.
Ingredients
- 8oz Fresh Spinach
- 5 Cloves of graded garlic (8g)
- 3Tbs Unsalted Butter (42g)
- 1/2 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream (120g)
- 2tsp All Season Banger
- 2Tbs Graded Parmesan
- 1tsp Lemon Zest
Directions
- In a pan over medium heat add 3 Tbs of butter. Once melted add graded garlic to the mix. Reduce the heat to low so that the garlic softens but DOES NOT BURN!!
- Add spinach to the party, cook spinach down until tender.
- Take spinach out of pan and squeeze all the liquid out of it. Be careful the spinach is most likely pretty hot, use heat resistant gloves if you got em.
- Toss spinach back into pan, add heavy cream, Banger seasoning, 1.5Tbs of Parmesan, and Lemon Zest. mix well and cook for 3-4 minutes on medium heat until all ingredients are incorporated and the cream becomes a little thicky
- Plate spinach in bowl or plate and grade remaining parmesan on top!
- Enjoy and if you used this recipe id love to hear what you think of it:)
