these turned out so tasty with a twist to the regular meatball. easy to prepare and yummy to eat. i've used canned spinach and suggest using your favorite cheese in the sauce (although provolone was good). not sure where i got this recipe (maybe food network) and i've halved along with adjustments to the recipe.
💬 Reviews (Wow! There are a lot of flavors going on with this one and they all work very well together. I made this as an appetizer before dinner. Dinner was anticlimactic. The appetizer stole the show.)

from a taste of italy (1996) by the american cooking guild: when 14-year-old catherine de medici left florence to marry king henry ii of france, her entourage of chefs encountered spinach for the first time. from then on, they referred to dishes with spinach as florentine, which means 'bed of spinach' in french. this moist spinach and beef loaf tastes even better topped with marinara sauce.

hopefully will have red cabbage to reap from the garden soon so looking out for recipes so i am saving this one here, from australian delicious. times estimated. please note french trimmed is were the fat is scraped off to expose the bone and sort of becoming a handle, great in smaller cuts of meats such as lamb as an appertizer. have not included marinating time and within the cooking time you are cooking the cabbage while te pork is in the oven and overall times are estimated.
