“I was thinking of buying some oglop oil, but it’s so disgusting.”
—a red mage in Lindblum, FFIX
This is a quick meal if you use a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from the market. Save the leftover bones for stock.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or oglop oil
- 1 large onion, peeled and diced (about 2½ cups)
- 3 large carrots, scrubbed and chopped (about 1½ cups)

- 6 oz. baby spinach
