Equipment

  • 1 Thermomix OR Blender OR Mixer OR wooder chopper OR mortar and pestle set
  • 1 Pot
  • 1 Spatula

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 kg fresh spinach or 500 gr frozen spinach/ boiled spinach
  • 250 g milk
  • 3-4 pc garlic cloves
  • 50 g butter cubes
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions
 

IMPORTANT!!! If you use frozen or already boiledspinach, please skip the steps 1-3!

  • First, cut down the spinach tail leaves, because it is important to use the leaves with more flavor;
  • Rinse the spinach leaves with water and put them in a big pot to boil with a pinch of salt;
  • Boil the spinach for 15 minutes and then use a sieve to drain the water. Let the spinach cool down in the sieve;
  • Place the garlic cloves in the mixing bowl of the Thermomix and GRATE them using 5 SEC – SPEED 5. Scrape down the walls of the bowl;
  • Add 20 gr of butter and select 2 MIN – 60℃ (140℉) – SPEED 0.5;
  • Add the milk, the rest of the butter, salt and pepper then select 5 SEC – SPEED 6, to create a mixture;
  • Scrape down the bowl and then cook using 30 MIN – 100℃ (212℉) – SPEED 2;
  • After the cooking time is over, select 10 SEC – SPEED 7, to create a fine consistency.
    TIP: If your spinach puree is too liquid, create a mixture made of 1 tbsp cornstarch and some water and pour it over the puree. Then, mix the puree as mentioned at step 8.
  • Add salt and pepper as you like.

You can use the spinach as a side dish or you can mix it with pasta (toddlers usually love them!)
