Healthy Hints
Although spinach is a little overrated in terms of being a fantastic source of iron, it does provide some iron. When a source of vitamin C (like lemon, lime, a side salad or a glass of fruit juice) is added to a recipe, it increases the absorption of iron from vegetarian foods. The lemon juice in this dish helps your body to get more iron out of that spinach.
Cooking Guide
1. Cook the spinach in its own juice over low heat. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
2. Heat the oil and fry the onions until they are transparent.
3. Add mushrooms, salt, pepper, garlic and turmeric to the mixture.
4. Cook for 2–3 minutes.
5. Add lemon juice to taste.
Serving suggestion: Serve with plain yogurt & pita.
