4 tablespoons olive oil

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion then cook until translucent. Add the garlic, then start adding the spinach. Cook it down in batches until the full amount has wilted. You may want to chop up the spinach a bit beforehand to prevent choking.

Mix the cauliflower puree into the spinach. Stir to combine then simmer. Add the tahini, nutritional yeast, then salt and pepper.

Keep stirring until the spinach is fully mixed with the cauliflower. Check the seasoning, then serve.
