AIP Friendly Greek Beef and Spinach Skillet

This one-pan dinner is hearty, bright, and deeply satisfying — the kind of weeknight meal that feels like it took way more effort than it actually did. Ground beef and zucchini cook down together with oregano, turmeric, and ginger, building a warm, aromatic base that's anything but boring. A generous pile of baby spinach gets stirred in at the end until just wilted, keeping everything vibrant and fresh. A squeeze of lemon juice and a handful of chopped parsley and dill finish the dish with a lift that ties all the Mediterranean-inspired flavors together beautifully. Sticking to the autoimmune protocol can make flavorful, satisfying dinners feel like a challenge, but this skillet leans hard into herbs and anti-inflammatory spices to deliver real depth without any of the usual off-limits ingredients. There are no nightshades, no grains, no eggs, and no dairy — just whole, clean ingredients that work together naturally. It serves four, comes together in a single skillet, and is just as good reheated the next day, making it a reliable staple to keep in your weekly rotation.
