Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

2 slices white bread, 1-inch thick
1/4 to 1/2 cup milk, to moisten
1/2 seedless cucumber
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons EVOO
1 1/2 pounds ground lamb or beef
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint
3 tablespoons grated red onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
2 pinches cinnamon
3 cloves garlic, grated or pasted
1 large egg
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
4 pocket-less pitas or flat breads, cut into wedges
1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt
1/4 cup fresh dill
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a cooling rack over 2 baking sheets for roasting the meatballs and toasting the pita.
Soak the bread in the milk. Peel the cucumber and grate into a strainer. Salt it and let it drain for 20 minutes.
Pour the EVOO into a bowl, then add the meat and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Squeeze out the bread and crumble between your fingers as you add it to the meat. Add the mint, onions, oregano, cinnamon, 2 of the garlic cloves, egg and 1/2 of the lemon juice, and mix to combine.
Using a small ice cream scoop, form the meat mixture into about 24 balls and place on the baking sheet. Roast to golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the oven and place the broiler on high. Char the pita under the broiler, 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side.
Press the cucumber in the strainer to get out the excess water and add to a food processor. Then add the yogurt, dill, remaining 1 clove garlic, zest and remaining juice of the lemon. Season the sauce with cumin and salt and process until smooth.
Serve the meatballs with the sauce and pitas.

MARGARET'S KEFTEDES (GREEK MEATBALLS)

Margaret's Keftedes (Greek Meatballs) image

This is my yia yia's recipe--a family favorite straight from the village of Kyparissia. Serve as an appetizer or with tzatziki, Greek salata, and pita or pasta for a full meal. They taste best served at room temp and make for wonderful leftovers. If you don't care for lamb, try using all beef instead.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

4 slices white bread, torn into pieces
2 tablespoons milk
1 clove garlic
1 onion, quartered
4 teaspoons dried mint
1 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
½ pound ground beef
½ pound ground lamb
4 eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour for dredging
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

Moisten the bread pieces with the milk in a large bowl, and set aside. Mince the garlic in a food processor, then add the onion, mint, salt, and pepper. Process until the onion is finely chopped. Add the onion mixture to the bowl with the moist bread, along with the beef, lamb, and eggs. Mix with your hands until thoroughly blended.
Roll the mixture into balls measuring 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter. Place the flour in a shallow pan, and roll the balls in the flour to coat. Shake off any excess flour, and place the meatballs onto a plate or baking sheet, pressing to flatten slightly. This will keep them from rolling away.
Heat 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs, 8 or 10 at a time, and cook until nicely browned on the outside, and no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes; drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining meatballs.

GREEK TOMATO FETA FRITTERS (DOMATOKEFTETHES)

Greek Tomato Feta Fritters (Domatokeftethes) image

I'm showing you my take on domatokeftethes. These are incredibly delicious, versatile, and inexpensive, and they make a perfect summertime appetizer. Serve with freshly squeezed lemon, tzatziki sauce, or just plain Greek yogurt seasoned with raw minced garlic and lemon juice to taste.

Categories Greek Appetizers

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 cups diced fresh tomatoes with juices
½ cup packed grated zucchini
⅓ cup sliced green onions
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch cayenne pepper
¼ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
¾ cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed
¾ teaspoon baking powder
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

Stir together tomatoes, zucchini, green onions, kosher salt, sugar, black pepper, oregano, and cayenne in a bowl to combine.
Let sit for 15 minutes for the sugar and salt to draw out liquids from the vegetables.
Stir the tomato mixture; add parsley, mint, and basil. Crumble in feta cheese. Add flour and baking powder; mix with a spoon until combined. Batter should be relatively loose but will hold its shape on a spoon. If too loose, add more flour; if too dry, add some water until desired consistency is reached.
Wrap the bowl in plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), or use a deep fryer.
Place heaping tablespoonfuls of batter in the hot oil; reduce heat to medium. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Flip once more and fry for an additional 30 seconds, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
