Preparation

1. 1

   Put the ground meat in a large tray. Crumble the stale bread crumb and crack in the egg. Grate the onion, add the spices and adjust the salt. Knead the köfte mixture. For the spinach filling, pick over the spinach, wash in plenty of water and boil in its own juices.

2. 2

   Crack the eggs, add salt, chop the spinach and mix with the eggs.

3. 3

   In a spoon of vegetable oil, sauté the onion cut into small cubes. Add a spoon of tomato paste and a spoon of flour. Stir a bit and add the meat stock. Adjust the salt and take off the heat. Set this sauce aside.

4. 4

   Divide the prepared köfte mixture into six pieces. Roll each, then hollow out the inside with your thumb to form a bowl shape. Arrange on a greased tray and bake in a medium oven for 15 minutes. Take out of the oven.

5. 5

   Fill the insides of the köfte with the spinach filling.

6. 6

   Slice the tomatoes.

7. 7

   Cover the top of the köfte with these slices. Finally, sprinkle grated kashar. If using cheddar, you can cut it into star or triangle shapes. Pour the prepared sauce onto the base of the tray without touching the spinach.

8. 8

   Return to the oven. Bake until the cheese melts a little. You can serve this decorative spinach dish with rice or mashed potato if you like.
