Onion & Herb Greek Meatballs
These Onion & Herb Greek Meatballs are full of flavor and perfect over a bed of fluffy rice with a fresh chopped salad.
Ingredients
- 1 Pete & Gerry’s Organic egg
- ¼ large red onion grated
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1 lb ground beef I used 95% lean
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- For serving: rice chopped salad, tzatziki or hummus, and fresh herbs to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Prep and chop the veggies.
- In a large bowl, add the egg, onion, breadcrumbs, herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Add in the ground beef and mix until well combined (I find this easiest to do with your hands. Just wash well before and after!).
- Roll the mixture into balls – about the size that will fit in your palm – and place on a plate. You will have about 12-15 meatballs. Set aside.
- Add the oil to a large skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, add the meatballs and let cook for a few minutes on each side until golden.
- Transfer the meatballs to a baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until an internal temperature of 160 F is reached.
- Serve over rice with salad or as desired. Add fresh herbs to garnish!
