  • Boil water for blanching spinach - this recipe uses two pots to minimize cook time, but you can do this step in the same pot if you desire. If so, just finish blanching the spinach first, and then clean the pot before adding oil. See notes in post for blanching spinach (or skip ahead a couple of steps)
  • In the meantime, blend the red bell peppers, habanero peppers, tomato and onion to form a coarse puree (see notes) and set aside
  • Once the oil gets hot, add the onion and red pepper, and fry until translucent (about 30 seconds)
