Spinach Purée with Dried Beef and Bacon

Desalt the dried beef.

The day before, cut the dried beef into medium-sized pieces and place them in a bowl with ice-cold water until the meat is completely covered. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and change the water 3 to 4 times.

Time: 1 hour ;

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch of spinach
  • 1½ cups of milk
  • 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • ½ can of heavy cream
  • 1 onion
  • 500g of shredded dried beef
  • 200g of bacon
  • Salt and nutmeg to taste.

Directions

Wash the spinach thoroughly in a pot with ¼ cup of water. Let it wilt. 

Drain in a colander and squeeze well to remove as much water as possible. Chop finely. 

Place in a pot with the flour dissolved in the milk and the butter. Season with salt and nutmeg.

Stir well until it forms a smooth paste. Add the heavy cream, being careful not to let it become too runny.

Once the purée is ready, sauté the onion, add the DRIED BEEF, and set aside. Cut the bacon into small cubes and fry in olive oil.

Serve with white rice.

Suggestion: Top the purée with the bacon.
