Method

  1. Heat a large saucepan with oil covering bottom, add onions and fry gently.

  3. Add chopped tomato and potatoes (cut into 2cm cubes), cover and bring to boil, then lower heat to a simmer.

  4. While this cooks place the spinach in a large saucepan. Add salt and cook over medium heat with a lid on. Stir regularly and when greens are wilted and dark in colour, place them in a colander, press water out with a big spoon.

  5. Mix tomatoes, potatoes and greens together in a pan and cook for another 10 minutes. At a splash of water if needed. Season to taste and add more chilli if necessary.
