About Greek meatball
Greek Meatballs, or "keftedes," are a flavorful staple of Greek cuisine. Made primarily from a mixture of ground beef or lamb, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, egg, and a medley of traditional Mediterranean herbs like oregano, parsley, and mint, these meatballs are typically baked or pan-fried. They often include a hint of lemon zest for a bright, tangy twist. High in protein, they provide essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins. When baked, they are a healthier option compared to frying, as it reduces calorie and fat content. While keftedes are deeply satisfying and rich in flavor, their traditional preparation may include oil and breadcrumbs, which can increase fat and carbohydrate levels. Served as an appetizer, main dish, or part of a mezze platter, they pair perfectly with tzatziki sauce, fresh vegetables, or a light salad for a balanced and nutrient-rich meal.
