Preheat the oven to 350°F.


Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

Return skillet to heat, add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil and spinach and cook, tossing often, until completely wilted and liquid is evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes; transfer to bowl with onion and pepper and set aside to cool.
