A must-have for the greek cuisine, the meatballs are perfect as a mezze for a meal or served as an aperitif with tzatziki !
Ingredients
- 500 g ground beef
- 1 onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar or cider vinegar
- parsley
- salt
- pepper
- 120 g rusks or wet bread
- flour
- olive oil for the pan
Utensils
- 1 pan

Making
Put the bread to soak in a bowl of water.
Put the minced meat and finely chopped onion in a bowl and add the drained bread.
Add olive oil, parsley, vinegar, salt and pepper and mix well.
When the preparation stops sticking to the hands, it is a sign that you can start preparing the meatballs. Take a bite and roll it between your hands to make a dumpling. Try to make meatballs about the same size.
Put flour in a deep plate. Then place a meatball inside, cover the flour completely and reserve it in another plate. Do the same for all the meatballs.
Once the meatballs have been made, place the plate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. Heat the oil in the pan and pour a few meatballs until they have a nice colour.
Once cooked, place the meatballs on a plate covered with a paper towel.
You can taste these delicious meatballs either hot or cold. Serve them with tzatziki or yogurt dip and with pitas for souvlakia !
Enjoy your meal !
