Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil: Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat to prepare the base for sautéing the aromatics.
  2. Sauté onion and garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until they become soft and fragrant.
  3. Cook ground beef: Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until it is thoroughly browned. Drain excess fat if necessary to keep the dish lean.
  4. Add spinach and seasonings: Stir in chopped spinach, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes until the spinach wilts and the flavors meld together.
  5. Remove from heat and add feta: Take the skillet off the heat and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top.
  6. Garnish and serve: Finally, scatter the chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve the skillet warm with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For a lower fat version, use lean ground beef or ground turkey.
  • Fresh spinach can be substituted with baby spinach for a milder flavor.
  • Adding a squeeze of lemon juice before serving can brighten the dish.
  • Serve with crusty bread, rice, or quinoa for a more filling meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
