Delicious Greek meatballs served on a bed of fluffy rice or quinoa, topped with fresh vegetables and tzatziki sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef or lamb
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce

Instructions

  1. Mix the Meatball Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef or lamb, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, pepper, and oregano. Use your hands to squish everything together until it’s evenly mixed.
  2. Shape the Meatballs: Form the mixture into bite-sized meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them onto a lined baking sheet, keeping them spaced out a little.
  3. Bake the Meatballs: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once heated, slide the baking sheet into the oven and bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes, or until they’re browned and cooked through.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: While your meatballs are baking, get your serving bowls ready. Start by layering cooked rice or quinoa at the bottom of each bowl.
  5. Add Toppings and Garnishes: Top the rice with several meatballs, and add halved cherry tomatoes and diced cucumber. Drizzle a generous amount of tzatziki sauce over the top.
  6. Finish with Feta: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top before serving.

Notes

Leftover meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the meatballs for up to 3 months.
