MEDITERRANEAN MEATBALL SANDWICHES
I grow onions, garlic and herbs, so that's what I use in these saucy sandwiches. Make patties or form the ground beef into meatballs instead. -Alysha Braun, St. Catharines, Ontario

EAT-YOUR-VEGGIES MEDITERRANEAN MEATBALLS
These meatballs have a secret -- they're packed with spinach. Veggie-shy kids (and adults) won't even notice since they are happily tucked into a warm pita with lettuce and tomato and drizzled with tangy dill yogurt sauce.

Bake until cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes.

MEATBALL PITA POCKETS
A pita sandwich I have enjoyed. Original from a 1979 Better Homes magazine. Sometimes I add crushed garlic or a little garlic powder to the marinating vegetable mixture.

MEDITERRANEAN MEATBALLS
There are 22 countries that border the Mediterranean, and one of them is Greece. These meatballs are ground beef-based, and they are chock-full of fresh herbs, garlic, and other seasonings that may remind you of Greece. Use these meatballs as appetizers, or serve them inside pita bread with lettuce and tomato. In either case, be sure to serve with plenty of tzatziki, either one you purchase, or one you make from scratch from a recipe on this site.
