Ingredients

Greek Meatball:

  • 400 gm ground lamb
  • 1 slice white bread
  • 2 tablespoon milk
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt I used around ½ teaspoon
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon chopped mint
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 medium size onion grated
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • After Shaping the Meatballs use:
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour for dredging
  • Oil to fry the meatballs

Tzatziki Dip:

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 medium cucumbers shredded squeeze to remove excess water
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped dill
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

Making the meatballs:

  • In a bowl add all the ingredients except the ground lamb and mix well until combined.
  • Add the ground lamb and keep on mixing until the ingredients are all incorporated.
  • You can cover the meatball mixture and place it in the fridge for an hour, or you can start scooping the meatballs and shape them into equal size balls.
  • In a frying pan add enough oil to fry the meatballs.
  • Dredges each meatball in flour before placing it in the frying pan.
  • Fry the meatballs in two batches. 8 minutes are usually enough for the meatballs to cook and still be juicy. Move the meatballs while frying to cook all sides.
  • Serve hot.
