Today’s beautiful sunshine put me in mind of summer, the bitter cold that accompanied the sun made it a wistful thought - I daydreamed about wearing light cotton, sipping a cooling rose spritzer and picnicing in the park.

Oh well, maybe in a couple of months…

If, like me you are yearning for a warmer season here is a recipe that is both summery but also substantial enough to satisfy on another chilly night.

Ingredients

1 red onion
1 bag spinach
1 packet feta
4 eggs
1 clove garlic
1 handful black olives (the plainer the better)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, S&P, basil

1 Chop the onion into half rings, heat some oil in a frying pan and add the onions
2 When sizzling lightly add balsamic vinegar and turn heat right down, let it crackle gently for 30mins
3 Tear up spinach, chop feta (3/4 is probably enough), chop olives, beat eggs, crush/chop garlic
4 Preheat grill
5 Add spinach, olives and garlic
6 Once the spinach has wilted add eggs and cheese on top, fry for a bit then pop under grill for 5 mins (or until golden on top). Serve with a bit of bread and a nice salad.
