Categories     Appetizer

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

500g ground beef (18 ounces)
200g ground pork (7 ounces)
1 medium red onion, grated
1 medium clove of garlic, minced
150g stale bread (5 oz.), soaked in water and squeezed to remove the excess water
1 large egg
1 1/2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
1 1/2 tbsp fresh spearmint (chopped) and a pinch dried. Or 3/4 tbsp fresh regular mint
2 tbsps olive oil
1 1/2 tbsps red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
oil for frying
flour for dredging

Steps:

  • To prepare this traditional Greek meatballs recipe (keftedes), add all the ingredients into a large bowl and mix well (for about 5-10 minutes), squeezing with your hands, to allow the flavours to blend. Cover the bowl with some plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for 1 hour.
  • Turn the mixture for the keftedes out of the fridge and roll into meatballs the size of a walnut (or bigger if you prefer). If you're frying them, dredge the rolled meatballs lightly in flour making sure to shake off any excess. Fry until nicely browned on all sides.
  • The traditional way of cooking Greek meatballs (keftedes) is frying them. Fry the keftedes in batches of 10-15 at a time, until nicely browned on all sides.
  • Instead of frying you can bake / grill the keftedes in the oven. Preheat the oven at 200C, place the un-floured keftedes on greased baking sheet about an inch apart. Bake for about 20 minutes, turning the meatballs upside down midway through cooking time. The grilled version is much lighter than the fried so theres not excuse to not trying it now!
  • Keftedes (Greek meatballs) are ideally served as an appetizer (meze) with some creamy tzatziki sauce and pita breads or as a main course with some basmati rice and a Greek salad. Enjoy!

GREEK PORCUPINE MEATBALLS



Greek Porcupine Meatballs image

Not your traditional porcupine meatball in the slightest! A fresh combination of flavors, simmered in chicken broth and served with a delicious lemon sauce. One of my favorite meatball recipes.

Provided by anonymous

Categories     Meat

Time 25m

Yield 16 small meatballs, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1 lb meatloaf mix (or ground beef)
2 large eggs, separated
1/3 cup instant rice
1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 lemon

Steps:

  • Finely chop parsley to equal 1/2 cup and mint to equal 2 tablespoons. Place in a large bowl with meat, egg whites, rice, crumbs, salt and 2 tablespoons of water. Blend well. Shape mixture into a 1.5 inch thick square, cut into 16 pieces and roll each into a ball.
  • In a small bowl, blend cornstarch with 3/4 cup water. Place in a large skillet over medium heat with chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add meatballs and cook, covered, for 15 minutes, turning meatballs occasionally. Remove meatballs to a serving dish and keep warm. Reduce heat to low.
  • Squeeze lemon to yield 2-3 tablespoons of juice. In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks with lemon juice. Stirring constantly, add 3 tablespoons of the hot broth to the yolk mixture. Gradually add back to the skillet, stirring constantly. (NOTE - do NOT skip this step; it tempers your egg yolks so that you don't end up with scrambled eggs in your sauce!).
  • Simmer for 2 minutes or until sauce thickens; do not boil. Pour over meatballs and serve immediately.
