Greek Meatballs

I found this great and simple recipe on a foodie blog that is very close to my heart: any time I browse the recipes I feel like I’m on that gorgeous island of Crete (the blog belongs to a Hungarian lady living in Crete with her family). She shares Hungarian and most importantly Greek recipes, I have tried many of them and all of them turned out great! We enjoyed these delicious meatballs with some rice and pickles.

Bite Sized Greek Meatballs

Ingredients:

250g ground beef
fresh parsley
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp dense yoghurt
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 small onion
salt, pepper

Preparation:

1. Chop the parsley and onion
2. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl
3. Make small (nut sized) balls
4. Fry the balls on a little olive oil.

I served them with some lemon wedges only to make them look good, however it turned out to be a very good pair with the meatballs – lemon yoghurt freshness : ))
