This is one of the foods I was eating a lot as a child, usually served with rice and either fish or meat. Here I'm adding some peas to the rice for extra protein and some plantain!
Vegan, nut free, soy free| Serves 3 | MAIN
Ingredients:
- 440g spinach (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 clove of garlic, finely diced or crushed
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
- 125ml tomato juice (passata)
- 1/2 teaspoon of oregano
- Pinch of chilli flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Steps:
1.In a medium size, on a medium heat, add the oil, spinach and a pinch of salt and sauté. If you are using fresh spinach this will take a couple of minutes, if you are using frozen it will take longer.
2.Once the spinach has wilted, add the onions and garlic and sauté for around 4-5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
3.Add the tomato paste, herbs, tomato juice and 125ml of boiling water.
4.Stir, lower the heat to low, cover and cook for 10-15 minutes.
5.Adjust the seasoning to your preference before serving.
6.I like to serve it with rice and peas and plantain. You can keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days and you can also freeze it.
Enjoy!
