Chop and sote onions and garlic in 2 tbps of olive oil until slightly golden, then add them to the large bowl.

Chop up spinach and the kalamata olives and mix them in too.

Heat vegetable oil in a medium pan and fry them until they are cooked through, depending on the size, 5-8 minutes on each side. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.
