Notes about this recipe

    Made enough for 2 so halved it - 250g spinach, etc. Very easy and tasty recipe; you can chuck the spinach in bit by bit and leave it while you get other things ready. I served lemon wedges on the side rather than drench it in juice. Will make again.

    This was easy and delicious.

    I enjoyed this and it certainly was quick and easy. I had it with the creamy chicken curry with figs as recommended by the author and they were very good together. The lemon makes it quite sour which I like, but my husband didn’t

    I really enjoyed this. I made a bowl with brown rice, soft scrambled eggs mixed with crispy fried spam. I topped it with the spinach. It was a flavorful and pretty topping. It was a nice quick way to add a green veg.

    Unlike the other reviewers, I really liked this. I used baby spinach and a couple small heads of baby bok choy. The garlic oil flavored it nicely, it wasn't too wet, and I happen to prefer spinach with a squeeze of lemon or vinegar. It's a good option to serve alongside a rich curry dish, and very fast and easy to make.

    I served this with coconut tamarind chicken curry. It was OK, nothing special. The spinach gives off a lot of water that dilutes the taste of the butter, garlic, lemon and pepper. Don't think I will make this one again.

    Not a fan of this. I prefer a simple stir fried spinach with garlic and chilli, without the lemon juice.
