Buttermilk Creamed Spinach

A nice way to use up buttermilk if you have it.

Trim stems off of the spinach , chop it and rinse well.

In a large skillet , add spinach and onions over low-medium heat.

Steam covered for about 10 minutes stirring occasionally.

Remove spinach mixture from the skillet and set aside.

While spinach is cooling , heat olive oil or butter over medium heat.

Once heated through add flour , mixing thoroughly with the oil or butter making sure there are no lumps.

Reduce heat to low and once more finely chop the spinach-onion mixture with the garlic clove and add it to the oil-flour mixture.

Mix very well then add the buttermilk , salt and nutmeg.

Mix well and allow to remain on the heat for another 5-10 minutes.
