Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 200 grams ground lamb
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the ground lamb to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked.

  4. 4

    Stir in the chopped spinach, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and red pepper flakes if using. Pour the eggs into the skillet over the lamb and spinach mixture.

  6. 6

    Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still creamy, about 3-5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side.
