What do you need to make greek meatballs with tzatziki, & veggie medley?
Meatballs:
- Ground beef- Any ground beef will work and the percentages don’t matter. I’ve used 80/10 and 95/5, use whatever you like.
- Breadcrumbs- You can use plain breadcrumbs if you’re going to use the gyro seasoning, and if not you can use Italian breadcrumbs. Panko works just fine too!
- Egg- The egg helps bind the meatballs together!
- Super gyro seasoning- We love Primal Palate seasoning and their super gyro seasoning is delicious! You can also use any other greek seasoning or you can even just add 1 tsp dried oregano and 1 tsp dried basil and you’ll be good to go.
- Fresh Parsley- I love adding in fresh chopped parsley to give a great fresh taste. It’s not required, but it’s highly suggested.
Tzatziki:
- Full fat greek yogurt- I love fage 5% greek yogurt. It’s so rich and creamy and works perfectly here. You can use whatever you prefer, just make sure it’s plain.
- Cucumbers- I always add in some extra grated cucumber because I love lots of cucumber in mine!
- Olive oil- If you want your tzatziki to be more like a dressing and less like a sauce. You can add in an additional tbsp of olive oil until you reach your preferred consistency.
- Lemon juice- Adds a nice bright fresh flavor!
- Dried dill- I always have dried dill on hand so I love to use that, but feel free to use fresh!
Tips for making it:
- You can basically make everything ahead & then put it all in a bowl or pitas later! You can reheat the meatballs & warm the pitas if you prefer. So good! The tzatziki is best when it sits for a few hours so making that ahead is always great!
- If you want to make homemade pitas, I highly suggest it! They’re so good and way easier to make than expected. I used THIS recipe and it was fabulous.
