Keftedes
Ingredients
- 300 grams of minced meat
- 1 shallot
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tbsp mint
- 1 tbsp parsley
- pepper and salt
Tzatziki:
- 1 small cucumber
- 300 ml Greek yogurt
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 tbsp dill
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Make the tzatziki first. Peel the cucumber and grate it. Place the grated cucumber in a sieve and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Chop the garlic and dill finely. Put the cucumber, yogurt, garlic, dill and some salt and pepper in a bowl and stir to combine. Refrigerate the tzatziki for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Chop the garlic, mint and parsley finely. Put all the ingredients for the keftedes in a bowl and knead together. If the mincemeat mixture is still a bit wet, add a third tbsp of the breadcrumbs.
- Form small balls, about 4 cm. Fry the meatballs in a pan with a dash of oil or butter. Turn them on regularly and bake them for about 10 min.
- Serve the keftedes with the homemade tzatziki.
