Spinach sautéed with garlic & chilli

This dish is one of my favourite ways to eat spinach. It’s particularly good served over fish but really it’s just a delicious side that goes with most meals.
It takes a whopping two minutes to cook and only a few minutes to prepare so it’s perfect for those times when time is a limiting factor, like in the evening if you get back from work late and you want to knock up a quick side to go with some fish before hitting the hay.
I hope you enjoy making this one pot wonder. Share your recreations of this recipe with me on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook using the hashtag #Jessipes and tag me using @JessipesRecipes in your posts. I love seeing them, or post your comments below!
