Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking for 3–4 minutes until they become soft and aromatic.
  2. Cook the beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook it thoroughly, breaking apart the meat as it browns, approximately 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary for a leaner dish.
  3. Add seasonings and spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking for another 3–4 minutes until the spinach wilts and the flavors meld together.
  4. Add feta cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly on top, allowing it to gently melt into the hot mixture.
  5. Garnish and serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm as it is or paired with crusty bread for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Drain excess fat from the beef to reduce calories and fat content.
  • Fresh spinach can be substituted with frozen spinach; just thaw and drain well before using.
  • For a spicier version, add crushed red pepper flakes with the paprika.
  • This dish pairs well with a side of rice or warm pita bread.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
