Creamy spinach with garlic and a fried egg . What a madness ! I don't think there are people who would refuse such goodness.

  1. Prepare the Creamy Spinach:
    • In a well-heated pan, add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil.
    • Add the finely chopped onion and leek (if using) and sauté until softened.
    • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour over the mixture and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
    • Gradually add 400 ml of chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
    • Add salt to taste and let the mixture boil for about 5 minutes.
    • Meanwhile, finely chop the baby spinach leaves.
    • Add the chopped spinach to the pan, mix well, and simmer over medium heat with the lid on for about 20-25 minutes, or until desired consistency is reached.
  2. Prepare the Garlic Mousse
    • In a small bowl, combine the grated garlic, salt, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
    • Mix it by smashing the garlic with a teaspoon
    • Add 2-3 tablespoons of water to the garlic mixture and mix well. Adjust the water quantity according to preference.
  3. Final Assembly:
    • Once the spinach is cooked to desired consistency, remove it from the heat.
    • Blend the cooked spinach until smooth using a blender.
    • Return the blended spinach to the pan and add 2 tablespoons of garlic mousse.
    • Mix well, adjust seasoning if necessary, and add a little cooking cream if desired.
    • Heat the spinach mixture gently until warmed through.
  4. Serve:
    • Transfer the creamy spinach to serving dishes.
    • Optionally, garnish with additional garlic mousse or a sprinkle of hot poppy seeds for extra flavor.
    • Enjoy your delicious and creamy spinach as a side dish or a light main course!
