Cooking Steps
- Finely chop half the spinach.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add chopped spinach to the dry pan. Cook, stirring often, until wilted.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly.
- While spinach cools, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
- Halve tomatoes.
- Zest, then juice half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 ppl). Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Add breadcrumbs, cooked spinach, Lemon-Pepper Seasoning, lemon zest, garlic and half the feta to a medium bowl.
- Add pork, then combine. (TIP: If you prefer more tender patties, add an egg to mixture!)
- Form mixture into eight 2-inch-wide patties (16 patties for 4 ppl).
- Reheat the same pan (from step 1) over medium.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then patties. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, cook patties in 2 batches, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.)
- Pan-fry until cooked through, 3-4 min per side.**
- Transfer to a plate, then cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, add lemon juice and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
- Add tomatoes, peppers, remaining feta and remaining spinach, then toss to combine.
- Divide pork patties and lemony tomato-pepper salad between plates.
- Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.
