My neighbor shared with me some fresh vegetables she had gotten from the Farmers Market and this spinach & corn was in the bag. Although I had never cooked spinach & corn together before, I knew they both were good for you, so I decided to give it a try.

It turned out both my husband & I enjoyed this quick & easy side dish immensely. I know I will be making it this way again real soon. Give it a try and see if you don't like it too.

How to Make Cream Style Corn with Baby Spinach

Step-by-Step

Wash corn and remove silk, then Using a sharp knife, remove corn from cob into a medium size bowl. Scrape milk from cob with the back of knife & into bowl. Then add in the arrow root starch, salt, pepper, & sugar & stir to blend together.
Add the olive oil to a medium size skillet. I used a cast iron. Heat over low heat.
Add the heavy whipping cream to bowl of corn and stir till blended together.
Pour corn mixture into skillet, and stir. Keep heat to low to avoid mixture from simmering. Stir constantly to prevent mixture from sticking and browning while cooking. Cook about 10 to 12 minutes.
Add in the baby spinach, and stir till blended into corn, spinach will begin to wither or wilt down. Cook about 5 additional minutes.
Serve while mixture is still hot. Enjoy
