4 servings

400gfresh baby spinach

0.5white onion

sliced

2garlic cloves

crushed

1 ¾ Tbsvegetable oil

¼ tspturmeric

Instructions

Step 1

Finely slice the onion in the oil until glassy. Add the turmeric and cook on med-low until the turmeric has moved from bitter to cooked (usually 2-3 mins with constant stirring over moderate heat).

Step 2

After about 3 minutes add the garlic and continue to cook on moderate heat. When the garlic smells deeper and richer add the fresh spinach leaves 200g at a time. The spinach will reduce down and absorb the mild curried flavour of the oil. No need to add water as the leaves will throw off their own liquid. Add the next 200g of leaves once the first batch has melted down. This is a quick cook dish so don't over cook. When it looks like in the picture it's done.

Step 3

Salt: it depends on your overall dish as to how much salt you add. A mild sprinkling of salt and pepper is a safe bet.
