Greek Meat Balls
May 27, 2008 Appetizers, red meat
These would work well as a few nibbles as an appetizer.
Serves: 4
Prep: 25 min
Cook time: 25 min
Ingredients:
500g veal mince
1 slice of white bread, crust removed and soaked in milk
2 small garlic cloves chopped
1 egg lightly beaten
2 tablespoons of oregano
1 tablespoon of mint
Tzatziki for dipping
1 small tub of yogurt
1 small cucumber finely cubed
1 small sprig of mint
½ lemon juice
A little lemon zest
1 garlic clove finely chopped.
1. Combine veal, bread soaked in milk, garlic, egg, herbs and salt and pepper. Mix together well.
2. Shape into small balls. I went for slightly elongated ones for dipping
3. Place onto a plate and heat a pan. Fry on a medium heat until browned on the outside. I made these the day ahead, and then heated in the oven covered in foil.
4. An hour or so before your guests arrive, make the Tzatziki by combining the ingredients above together.
