Gyro flavored meatballs

31 Oct

Gyro flavored meatballs –  You can use ground turkey as well.

2# ground meat (beef/turkey/lamb)
1 tb EACH dried rosemary and marjoram
2 tsp salt
1 onion (I like red).

Dice onion very very finely (food processor’s ok but if it liquidizes, dump in a coffee filter and slowly twist to squeeze the juice out or you will be eating only onion juice, blech).  Mix with the meat n spices. Form into balls (I use a 1/8 c meauring cup) into a skillet on the stovetop (no need for oil).  Shake occasionally during the cooking process to turn ’em over.

Enjoy with tzatziki (recipe coming) or just plain yogurt, spinach leaves and sliced tomatoes (and maybe hummus – I MISS TRADER JOES!) on a pita bread or over brown rice.

    I love the look of this!!! How easy is this to make! My kids are going to love it, and I was thinking, maybe with a homemade pasta sauce, or something along those lines? Hmmmmm. You could play with this, and do so much, because it really is a basic, easy recipe. Thanks, Caro! Love you loads! xxxx

    I would do it over brown rice, or in a pita or lavash bread. I wilt a bit of spinach with tomato and red onion and put it with rice or pita because we need as much fiber as possible here. An ice cream scoop or a melon baller works well to make meatballs.

    Here’s the tzatziki recipe I thought I had posted. Both recipes are inspired by Alton Brown. https://hawksnestcreations.wordpress.com/2012/01/28/tzatziki-greek-cucumber-and-yogurt-sauce/
