Creamed spinach gets a bright Filipino twist by adding RoniB’s Kitchen Tamarind Jam, bringing gentle tanginess that cuts through the richness beautifully. It’s a perfect partner to roast pork, turkey, chicken, or any hearty Christmas spread.

Quick, flavourful and new — yet comfortingly familiar.

Creamy tamarind spinach served in a shallow bowl, featuring vibrant green cooked spinach folded into a rich, tangy cream sauce — Filipino-inspired creamed spinach side dish using tamarind jam.

Ingredients

600g fresh spinach (or frozen, thawed & squeezed dry)
1 tbsp butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
2–3 cloves garlic, minced
150ml double cream
1 tbsp RoniB’s Kitchen Tamarind Jam
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

If using fresh spinach, wilt it in a dry pan for 1–2 minutes until softened. Drain excess liquid and lightly chop.
In a pan, melt the butter.
Sauté onions until soft, then add garlic and cook until fragrant.
Pour in the double cream.
Stir in Tamarind Jam until smooth and well combined.
Fold in the spinach and mix until coated in the creamy sauce.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Warm through and serve immediately.
