  My Brother made me this in spain one evening but without the spinach. It was the best evening snack!!! Much better and healthier! It contains 10 times less fat than in a standard bag of crisps!

  Usually these recipes are always good but unfortunately this one didn't have much going for it. Will probably not make again as it was rather bland and uninspiring.

  I also added a small amount of chilli flakes for an extra kick and a nice bit of colour. Great little snack in the time it takes to make a sandwich : )

  I found this slightly bland and that is after adding 2 rashers of bacon not one. However this gets 4 stars from me as it's still more exciting than your average sandwich, was extremely quick to make and appears to be very healthy. It's also the perfect combination of left overs I often have, so I will make this again. (perhaps will add a boiled egg)

  Added a bit more bacon, and also some paprika (smoked and regular) and cayenne pepper. Delicious.

  Having read the reviews, I thought I'd 'spice it up' a bit, so fried with sesame seed oil, added 2 tomatoes, 2 rashers of smoked bacon, a few mushrooms and some lemon juice at the end (the iron from spinach doesn't get absorbed by your body if the chemicals found in lemon juice aren't combined with it). Salt and pepper to boot - job done, great meal!
