1.
2
Heat a pot that youve sprayed with cooking oil spray over medium heat.
3
Add the onion and cook for 10 minutes on a medium heat.
4
I find that when using the spray it drys out quickly so keep a glass of water on hand and add splashes of water into the pot periodically to stop the onions from sticking.

2.
6
Add in the chili, garlic and peppers.
7
Cook them for a further 2 minutes then add in the beans and dry spices.
8
Cook off the spices for another couple of minutes.

10
Pour in the tinned tomatoes then add the water.
11
Pop the frozen spinach in too, the chunks will disperse as the ice melts.
12
Simmer it for 20 minutes, it will reduce down by about a third.
