Making the Greek lamb and feta meatballs

These mediterranean meatballs are super easy and super quick! To make the meatballs, you will need:

  • Ground lamb.
  • Salty and tangy Feta cheese.
  • Sliced green onions.
  • Fresh parsley and garlic.
  • Panko breadcrumbs.
  • An egg.
  • Jarred roasted red peppers.
  • Dried oregano, salt and fresh ground pepper.

Simply mix everything but the lamb in a large mixing bowl, then gently fold in the meat with your hands until everything is combined. Form the meatballs and transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway to evenly brown.

No greek. inspired dish is complete without a few fun and flavorful accoutrements. For these bowls, you’ll whip up a quick and fresh Tzatziki sauce and a super simple Tomato, Cucumber & Olive Salad.

Once the meatballs, salad and sauce are ready- it’s finally time to assemble and eat! At our house, we love to serve this over couscous, with a bit of extra feta and parsley, and some hot sauce for good measure!

I have also thoroughly enjoyed the leftovers throughout the week over salad greens, or even as a wrap or sandwich!

    3. Add all meatball ingredients (except lamb) to a large mixing bowl and combine. Add lamb, and work the mixture together with your hands until well incorporated, being careful not to over mix the meat.
    4. Form the meatballs and arrange on a parchment lined sheet as you go.
    5. Bake for 15-20 minutes on the middle rack of the oven, flipping over halfway through until cooked through, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center reaches 165 degrees. Makes 12 smaller meatballs or 16 larger meatballs.
    While the meatballs bake, make the salad. If making couscous or orzo, prepare that as well.
    1. To make the salad, add the cucumber, tomatoes, onion and olives to a medium mixing bowl.
    2. To make the dressing for the salad, add the vinegar, honey, dijon, olive oil, oregano, garlic powder and salt and pepper to a small bowl or liquid measure, and whisk to combine. Toss with salad and set aside until ready to serve, Salad can be made ahead and refrigerated.
