Half pkg (300 g pkg) frozen whole-leaf spinach, thawed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper
1 egg
1/4 cup (50 mL) dry Italian bread crumbs
1/4 cup (50 mL) grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh parsley
1 lb (500 g) lean ground veal or beef
2 slices each ham and provolone cheese
Preparation:
In bowl, combine thawed spinach and half each of the garlic, salt and pepper. Set aside.
In large bowl, beat egg; stir in bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley and remaining garlic, salt and pepper. Add veal; mix just until combined.
Place ham on cutting board; top each slice with 1 slice cheese, then half of the spinach mixture. Roll up; cut in half. Shape veal mixture into four 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick patties around ham roll-ups. (Make-ahead: Layer between waxed paper in airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours or freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in refrigerator.)
Place on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until digital thermometer inserted sideways into centre reads 160°F (71°C), about 15 minutes.
