Method:

Rub barbecue spice, chilli flakes and salt on the spek and leave for 30 minutes to marinate.

Preheat oven to 180°C.

On a baking tray, place the marinated spek and let it roast until it is crispy.

Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.

Add half the spinach and leek. Sauté until it begins to wilt, about 2 minutes.
Add the rest of the spinach and carrot and continue cooking until it is soft.

Season with salt and pepper.
Slice the spek and add to the spinach and serve.
