Notes

  • If you prefer, sauté the onion and spinach in a tablespoon of olive oil before adding to the meat mixture. This will create a softer onion in the meatball.
  • You can wear gloves to mix meat to prevent sticking to your hands.
  • Refrigerate meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If you make larger meatballs you will need to extend the cooking time longer.
  • Optional: saute the onions and spinach before adding to the meat mixture.
