Description
Cremig-grüne Spinat-Frischkäse-Soße mit zart schmelzender Textur, feiner Kräuternote und sanftem Knoblauchduft. Frische Zitrone verleiht leichte Säure, während milde Zwiebelwürze das Aroma harmonisch abrundet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 450 g creamed spinach (Rahmspinat)
- some milk
- 150 g herb cream cheese (Frischkäse Kräuter)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- 1 pinch sugar
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Peel the onion and garlic, then finely dice both. This will ensure they cook evenly and release their flavors into the sauce.
- Heat a medium-sized pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or butter. Once hot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté them gently, stirring often, until they become translucent and fragrant. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Avoid letting them brown, as you want a sweet, mellow flavor.
- Add the creamed spinach (Rahmspinat) to the pan. Stir well to combine with the sautéed onions and garlic. Allow the spinach to heat through, breaking up any frozen chunks if you are using frozen spinach.
- Pour in a small amount of milk, just enough to loosen the mixture and help the ingredients blend smoothly. Stir continuously to prevent sticking and to create a creamy base.
- Add the herb cream cheese (Frischkäse Kräuter) to the pan. Stir thoroughly until the cream cheese has completely melted and is fully incorporated into the spinach mixture. Allow the sauce to come to a gentle boil, which helps to thicken and meld the flavors.
- Season the sauce with lemon juice, salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar. Stir well to distribute the seasonings evenly. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to balance the flavors.
- If you prefer a thinner sauce, gradually add more milk to reach your desired consistency, stirring well after each addition.
- Simmer the sauce for a few more minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your preferred thickness and all ingredients are well combined.
- Serve the spinach cream cheese sauce hot. It pairs wonderfully with pasta, potatoes, rice, or as a flavorful side to various main dishes.
Notes
Feel free to customize this sauce by adding fresh herbs, a pinch of nutmeg, or even a sprinkle of grated cheese for extra flavor. You can also use fresh spinach instead of creamed spinach—simply wilt it in the pan before adding the other ingredients. Adjust the amount of milk for your preferred consistency.
