Suitable for vegetarians
This is quick and easy to prepare - a complete meal in one pan. Eggs are a good, cheap source of protein and minerals, including zinc, iron
and calcium, and spinach is rich in iron, too. For extra flavour, add thick fried slices of mushroom - they’re a good source of copper, which helps
the body absorb iron.
