Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large nonstick pan set over a medium-high heat. Cook the onion, stirring, for 10 minutes, until golden. Add the garlic, rosemary and chilli and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant.

Put the bacon in the pan and stir-fry for 5 minutes until browned. Add the broccoli to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, then add the spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until the broccoli is tender and the spinach is wilted. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside
