Variation that I like: Add 1 1/2 cups of pumpkin (steam in microwave for 2 min 30) and add after onion (add a cinnamon stick to mixture). After adding tomatoes & spices, cook for 10 minutes, then add spinach. Cook for a few more minutes. Remove cinnamon stick - good served with either couscous or brown rice. Substitute sultanas with chopped prunes.
