Ingredients

Low fat cooking spray
1 red onion, sliced thinly
2 garlic cloves, crushed

150ml boiling water

1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley

Method

Lightly coat a large lidded non stick saucepan with low fat cooking spray. Heat until hot. Add the onion and fry for 3 minutes. Add the garlic, celery and cumin and continue cooking in the onions juices for 3 minutes to soften the vegetables.

Stir in the spinach and cook for a further 2 - 3 minutes until the spinach has wilted. Serve hot with a sprinkle of parsley on top.
