Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Greek Meatballs

[heart_this] · Jul 26, 2021 · 6 Comments

Greek Meatballs

Meatballs with Greek style flavours including feta, oregano, parsley, mint and dill!

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!

    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.
