This is another way to eat your spinach. Really colourful, full of flavour, good for you and super easy.

- 1/2 tsp turmeric shopping list
- 14 oz canned chickpeas, drained shopping list

How to make it

Thanks for the kind words about the parsnips & the cauliflower. Lately I've been microwaving roots (carrots, potatoes) and then doing something to them. Quicker a...more
