ingredients

2 bunches spinach
1 white bread roll, soaked in water
3 tablespoons oil
4 tablespoons plain flour
stock (or milk)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
salt

directions

Wash the spinach thoroughly, slice and put into a saucepan over brisk heat.
Cook until limp and tender.
Squeeze the liquid out of the roll; sieve the roll and the spinach together or blend them to a puree in a food processor.
In a saucepan, gently heat 3 tablespoons oil; add the garlic and when it is bubbling add the flour to make a paste.
Stir over the heat until the paste changes color to beige.
Add the spinach mixture and enough stock or milk to make a thickish sauce, stirring all the time until bubbles break the surface.
Add salt to taste and continue to cook, stirring, for a few more minutes.
