Gulliver’s Creamed Spinach

This is an old recipe – no one does MSG any more.  Gulliver’s is still in business (owned by Lawry’s) and still serves the spinach.  (I’ll bet they don’t make it this way anymore!!)

Ingredients:

  • 20 oz Frozen leaf spinach
  • 3 bacon slices
  • 1 small onion
  • 3 Tab flour
  • 1 1/4 c milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp coarse black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp MSG

Directions:

  1. Thaw spinach and squeeze completely dry.
  2. Grind bacon and onions very fine and place in sauce pan.
  3. Saute bacon and  onion until bacon is cooked.
  4. Stir in flour to make a smooth paste.
  5. Gradually add milk.
  6. Bring to a boil and simmer on low for 10 minutes – until thickened.
  7. Add salt, pepper and MSG.
  8. Grind spinach fine and add to cream sauce.

Serves: 6
