Organic Spinach Casserole with Cheesy Sauce—A Perfect Autumn Dish! This delicious autumn dish combines fresh spinach with creamy mashed potatoes, all topped with a rich homemade cheese sauce, baked to perfection in the oven. 🍂 The cheese sauce starts with a bit of butter, then a spoonful of flour—stir it well, and gradually add milk. Once it thickens, reduce the heat and let the cheese melt into the sauce. My secret? I crush garlic and peppercorns in a mortar and pestle and mix them into the sauce for that extra kick. Don’t forget a pinch of nutmeg to finish it off. All ingredients, including the cheese, nutmeg, and flour, are organic for that pure, unprocessed flavor. 😋 Did you know? In the Netherlands, spinach is a beloved leafy green, typically in season from spring through late autumn. It’s not only fresh and delicious during this time but also incredibly healthy. Spinach is packed with vitamins and minerals, including iron, calcium, and vitamin C. It supports energy levels, boosts the immune system, and contributes to strong bones. When enjoyed in its peak season, you’re getting the best of its nutritional benefits and flavor. Well, now you know! 😉 #SpinachCasserole #OrganicCooking #AutumnFlavors #CheeseLovers #UnderTheSmokeOfAmsterdam #HealthyAndDelicious #ComfortFood
