75 g (~ 1/2 cup) frozen sweetcorn
3 cubes frozen spinach
1 tbsp oil
~ 15 spears asparagus ((~ 150g / ~ 5 oz), sliced)
1/2 onion, (thinly sliced)
3 cloves garlic, (minced (or 1 tsp garlic paste))
2 medium tomatoes, (diced)
2 tbsp garlic and herb cream cheese
50 g cheddar cheese, (grated (~ 1/2 cup when grated))

Steps:
