Raw Creamed Spinach

I currently have "swimmer's ear" and it is wickedly painful. I cannot chew, so eating solids is out right now. For dinner tonight, I needed something creamy and satisfying. I had a bunch of spinach around, so I made creamed spinach. It was really tasty. I warmed it every so slightly in a pan, stirring constantly, just to take the chill off.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup macadamia nuts (or almonds, or cashews)
1 cup filtered water
6-8 cups tightly packed spinach, chopped
2 Tbsp red onion, roughly chopped
1/2 clove garlic, crushed
salt, pepper, dash of nutmeg, to taste

Directions:

1. Blend nuts and water until creamy. Squeeze through a nut mylk bag or cheese cloth over a bowl or pan.
2. (Dehydrate remaining nuts and save for another recipe)
3. Return nut mylk to blender and add red onion, garlic and spices.
4. Slowly add spinach, blend, scrape sides with spatula and blend until creamy. (I left mine a little chunky).
5. Pour and serve. Garnish with spinach leaf and red pepper sliver.
