This rich Vegan Creamed Spinach recipe is made with cashew cream for a
luxurious, velvety sauce. A delicious and easy plant-based side dish!

To Use Fresh Spinach:

Rinse 2 lb (900 g) of spinach thoroughly in cold water, swishing to
remove dirt. Drain well and repeat if needed.

Remove any thick stems or damaged leaves. Baby spinach can be left as
is.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spinach and cook for
30 to 45 seconds, just until wilted and bright green.

Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water or just very cold water
to stop cooking and preserve color.

Drain the spinach and squeeze out as much water as possible using your
hands or a clean towel.

Roughly chop the spinach into small pieces--you'll have about 1 lb
(450 g) cooked spinach ready to use.

Prepare Cashew Cream:

In a blender, combine soaked cashews and plant-based milk. Blend until
completely smooth and creamy. Set aside.

In a large skillet, melt vegan butter over medium heat. Add the
chopped onion and saute for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Add the
minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Stir in the thawed (and well-drained) frozen spinach, or pre-cooked
fresh spinach. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring to combine with the
onions.

Pour in the cashew cream. Stir well and let simmer for 2 to 3 minutes
until thickened.

Add nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Stir in vegan parmesan cheese
until melted and smooth.

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot as a side dish with
roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a main course.
