• This dish can be made gluten-free and it will be just as delicious. The only items which need swapping are the flour and crusty bread.

• You can add coconut cream, single cream or creme fraiche after adding the flour (after step 6), for an even smoother spinach dish.

• This Creamed Spinach Recipe can also be made dairy-free if using any dairy-free milk or water to thicken the sauce as well as coconut cream.

• If you're not a fan of crispy onions, you can omit them or replace them with toasted mixed seeds.
