This was pretty good although I found out I don't like olives (!) I'd recommend spicing it up a bit more with some more red pepper flakes, and you can never go wrong with more spinach and scallions. Leeks might also be good.

Simple, satisfying and soul-foodish!! I used frozen spinach and had to use peanuts as pine-nuts weren't available. It is definitely a new favourite! So quick to make, so good to eat. Smitten

I love it its gong to become a new "quick meal" I didn't have pine nuts, I doubled the pepper flakes and added lemon juice!

I love this recipe. It's super quick and easy! I make it quite often and have done a few different things each time and it always turns out excellent. It's really good with chickpeas and extra scallions, pine nuts and pepper flakes. Sometimes I'll add tomatoes if I have them too. Oh so good!
