Slow Cook: Creamed Spinach and Kale

Creamed spinach is a classic steakhouse side that delivers a creamy accompaniment to anything on the plate. We chose to add kale to this dish as it adds a little more texture than just spinach alone. While this dish is great served alongside steak, we also love it as a Thanksgiving side, pairing perfectly with leaner turkey meat. Squeezing all the water out of the greens keeps the dish from becoming too watery and maintains its silky, creamy texture. You can prep this recipe and keep it in a storage container in the fridge for up to three days in advance but we recommend cooking this day-of for maximum tastiness.

Alternatively, you can place the spinach and kale into a strainer and squeeze the water out with your hands. Place drained greens on a cutting board and chop.

In a large bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, butter, garlic, salt, pepper, nutmeg, half-and-half, and parmesan cheese.
