Ingredients

• 3/4 lb (340g) ground beef
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 3 cups homemade bone broth
• 3 cups fresh spinach
• 2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Method

1. Combine ground beef, egg, oregano, basil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently — do not overwork. 2. Roll into 1.5-inch meatballs (about 12 total). 3. Heat olive oil in a wide saucepan over medium-high heat. Brown meatballs on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside. 4. Add broth to the pan and bring to a gentle simmer, scraping up any browned bits. 5. Return meatballs to the broth. Simmer uncovered 10–12 minutes until cooked through. 6. Add spinach and stir gently until just wilted, about 1 minute. 7. Ladle into bowls with meatballs and broth. Finish with fresh parsley.
