About

Ingredients

1 kg spinach, thick stalks discarded
50 ml olive oil, plus extra for the bread

Method

Heat the oil in a large pan and sauté the onion for 1 minute, without letting it brown. Add the spinach and turn it in the oil for 5 minutes over a low heat. Put in the potatoes, season with salt and pepper and the saffron and pour over the hot stock or wate
