Meatballs And Potatoes A Traditional And Delicious Greek Dish Recipes

MEATBALLS AND POTATOES: A TRADITIONAL AND DELICIOUS GREEK DISH

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into chunky wedges.
• Put the potatoes in a deep baking pan and add the olive oil and the turmeric, coriander, cumin, pepper, and salt.
• Mix well with your hands to coat the potatoes with the oil and spice mixture.
• Remove the crust from the bread slices and cut into chunks (stale bread is better than fresh for these meatballs). Add the bread chunks into a food processor and pulse to create breadcrumbs.
• Next, preheat the oven to 400F/180C fan/gas mark 6.
• Put the breadcrumbs, ground beef, egg, olive oil, mustard, and the fenugreek in a large bowl.
• Season with salt and pepper, then knead, using your hands for 2-3 minutes so everything is combined.
• Shape large meatballs with your palms. It doesn't matter if they're perfect balls - they will still taste great!
• Arrange the meatballs on top of the coated potatoes and cover the pan with foil - make sure the pan is completely covered in foil.
• Bake in the middle of the oven for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake for another 30 minutes or so, depending on how golden you like your potatoes.
• Serve with a Greek salad and tzatziki

Steps:

• Directions Preheat the oven to 400 °F, 200 °C. To Make the Meatballs: Chop the garlic in the food processor until minced. Add the parsley and pulse until finely chopped.
