Method
0 of 3 done- Heat 1cm of water in a medium frying pan until boiling. Add the spinach leaves and stir until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold running water until cool. Squeeze the spinach in batches by hand or through a fine-mesh sieve to remove as much liquid as possible. If using a food processor, it will be used in the final step; otherwise, chop the spinach very finely now.
- Melt the butter in the same pan over medium heat, add the flour and stir for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and bring to the boil.
- Transfer the spinach mixture to a food processor and blend until smooth. Allow to cool before serving.
