Ingredients

  • 100 g lean ground beef
  • 100 g ground pork
  • 1/3 package spinach, chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley
  • 2 tsps ground dried basil
  • 50 g parmesan cheese, grated
  • 50 g dry bread crumbs

Directions

  • In a pot of boiling water, blanch spinach for a minute, drain and run cold water over it immediately. When cooled, squeeze out excess water.
  • Bring chicken broth to a boil over medium heat.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the ground lean beef, 1 egg, breadcrumbs, basil, parsley and parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly, then form into bite-size balls.

  • When egg is cooked, return spinach and meatballs to the pot for another minute before serving.
