Description

These meatballs are a quick and simple take on the Greek gyro. The flavorful meatballs and crisp vegetables make a healthy dinner for any night.

Ingredients

  • ½ pounds Ground Lamb
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
  • ¾ teaspoons Oregano
  • ½ teaspoons Onion Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • ¼ cups Onion
  • ¼ cups Tomatoes
  • ¼ cups Cucumber
  • 1 container Tzatziki Sauce, 16 Ounces

Preparation

Mix together lamb, ground garlic, vinegar, oregano, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Roll together into approximately 1 inch diameter meatballs. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet, add meatballs to the pan. Brown the meatballs and make sure they are cooked through and remove from heat.

Dice onion, tomato, and cucumber.

Combine the meatballs and vegetables to be eaten as a salad or in a pita. Top with tzatziki sauce. I buy a small tub at a local grocery store; however, I’m sure homemade tzatziki would taste even better.

To make these even healthier, the meatballs could also be baked in the oven.

Simple & tasty! I flattened them in the skillet to make them fit on a pita easier. I doubled the recipe, so we have enough for salads or pitas throughout the week.
