Greek Meatballs
All I can say about these meatballs is yum. And maybe wow. There’s just something special about trying out a meatball recipes such as this one that’s packed full of fresh herbs. I also used my favorite method of preparing onions for a dish like this which is to grate them. Grating the onions makes for a juicy meatball full of flavor and really helps distribute the onion evenly throughout all of our little Greek Meatballs.
Ingredients In Greek Meatballs
Onion – We want something that cooks down well like a white or yellow onion. Be sure to grate it on a sharp metal grater. Meat – Today I used ground beef, for recommendations on other meats you could use scroll to the tips section. Herbs – Fresh parsley, oregano, and mint all chopped up. Dried will work as well, just keep in mind that one teaspoon of dried herbs equals one tablespoon of fresh. Garlic – Use as much or little as you like. Breadcrumbs – I used store bought panko breadcrumbs today. It’ll absorb tons of flavor and is the best option if you’re not using fresh crumbs. Egg – The binder for our Greek Meatballs, if you’d prefer to go egg free you can substitute 1/4 cup of ricotta cheese per egg. Seasoning – Salt and pepper today. Olive oil – This is how we will fry up our Greek Meatballs, you can use a neutral vegetable oil as well.
