Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Add 1 tablespoon each butter & oil to a large pot or skillet, and leave on stove top till needed.

- 3. Heat oil and butter in skillet over medium high heat.
- 4. Add slightly drained tomatoes to skillet
- 5. Then add spinach to skillet and stir to mix.
- 6. Cover with lid, and allow steam to accumulate, so spinach can wilt down.
- 7. It should look like this when wilted.

- 15. NOW SQUEEZE OUT most OF THE LIQUID from the spinach and tomato mixture . Add to the well in the center of the meat.
