Notes
- I cook as I prepare the veggies so I don't have a preparation time. It took me 35 mins to prepare this dish, it obviously will depend on how fast you can chop & dice, some of us will have difficulties, so please don't be stressed with time. Go at your own pace, the importance is to enjoy yourself as you cook and to love what you made.
- Keep in mind that the spinach will shrink massively once cooked
