I am a big fan of Greek style flavours like oregano, lemon, mint, dill, parsley and feta and these meatballs have them all! These meatballs are super easy to make, you simply mix all of the ingredients, form it into balls and bake until golden brown and cooked through! I like to enjoy these Greek meatballs in a number of ways! They are great all by themselves or when served with tzatziki, and or hummus, and/or a Greek style salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, kalamata olives, onions and feta. In fact, I like to throw them all together in a Greek meatball salad! Yum! Another amazing option is to wrap everything up in a pita to make gyros!
Throw the meatballs into pitas for some tasty gyros!

Kevin, you ABSOLUTELY nailed this recipe of Greek Meatballs!!! I am a huge supporter of your cuisine, innovative and refreshing in every way. I have a book with just your recipes, that’s how good you are!!! I am Greek and would have never thought to toss meatballs into a Greek salad…Brilliant!!! I have made meatball gyros, but now I have to add a Greek salad to it!! You are truly “Greek” at heart and soul!!!!! Keep your fantastic recipes coming! Tomorrow nights dinner, your greek refreshing meatballs and greek salad!!! Yummy…
PS your food photographs are superb!!
Delicious meatballs, the cooking time is too long though. Could have been cut by 10 minutes. And “mix thoroughly” should be followed by “but do not overwork”. Otherwise, the spices are spot on, very flavorful, will definitely make this again.
These meatballs are wonderful, full of Greek flavor. I will be using this combination of spices the next time I grill lamb burgers too. Along with the meatballs, I baked cauliflower florets that had been tossed in olive oil, and some red grapes. Absolutely delicious meal!
Kevin, I thought this looked good, When I made the meatballs they were even better than I’d hoped. Next time I am making a larger batch.
My dear Kevin with my best wishes to you
