Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft and fragrant.
- Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart as it browns, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Stir in the spinach, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking for another 3–4 minutes until the spinach wilts and flavors combine.

- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm, as-is or with crusty bread.
Notes
- For extra flavor, use a mix of ground beef and lamb.
- Baby spinach works well if you want a more tender green.
- Add a splash of lemon juice before serving for brightness.
