This colourful and flavourful dish is ideal for a spring weekend brunch. It's delicious as it is, left as a dairy-free and gluten-free dish, or if you fancy something more substantial, you can add some sharp feta and crusty sourdough bread to serve.

Put a large frying pan over a low to medium heat and add the oil. Cook the onion with the cumin, ground coriander and 1 crushed clove of garlic for 3-4 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Add the broccoli and asparagus to the pan and cook for 5 minutes more. Finally add the spinach and cook until it has started to wilt.
