These were so delicious! The spinach added to these really made the meat so moist and juicy. My son who is three, normally would not touch anything that is that green, but he loved them. They are packed with all the vitamins and nutrients our bodies need. This recipe could easily be turned into a meatloaf just by changing the cooking times.
Note: When choosing ground meat, if your meat is very lean you will want to add some grape seed or extra virgin olive oil. The best meat that I have found is made by a company in Pennsylvania called Nema. Their meats are certified Zabiha Halal, farm raised with no hormones and pesticide free. They are also now offering halal cheese and you know that is not easy to find. Afiyet Olsun!
1 lbs ground meat
1 tsp tomato paste
1/2 finely cut onion
1/2 box of frozen spinach
if using fresh spinach (1 C fresh chopped)
2 tbs bread crumbs
1/2 tsp sweet pepper
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp dried mint
Pinch baking soda
Salt
When making the patties if your hands get to sticky you can dip your fingertips into water. Doing this will prevent the meat from sticking to your hands. Prepare a nonstick pan with 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 vegetable oil, you only need a minimal amount to just glaze bottom of pan. The flame for your pan should be Medium low. Brown on both sides. Serve warm.
