Ingredients

• 1/2 cup cooked white rice
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 3 scallions, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 1/2 teaspoons
• ground cumin
• kosher salt
• black pepper
• 1 pound ground pork
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 14.5ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
• 6 cups low sodium chicken broth
• 1 bunch spinach (about 4 cups)
• fresh cilantro, for serving
• grated Cheddar, for serving
• sour cream, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the rice, eggs, oregano, a third each of the scallions and garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of the cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a bowl. Add the pork and gently mix with your hands until just combined. Form the mixture into 16 meatballs (about 11/2 tablespoons each). Broil, on the prepared baking sheet, until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.

Heat broiler, line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the remaining scallions, garlic, and cumin and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the scallions are tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to thicken, 4 to 6 minutes.

Add the broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the spinach and meatballs. Serve topped with the cilantro, Cheddar, and a dollop of sour cream.
