About Keftedakia

Keftedakia are small Greek meatballs made primarily from ground beef or pork, seasoned with a blend of herbs such as parsley, oregano, and mint, along with garlic and onion for added flavor. A touch of breadcrumbs and egg is typically used for binding, while olive oil might be incorporated to enhance moisture and richness. Originating from Mediterranean cuisine, these bite-sized delicacies are often pan-fried, baked, or simmered in tomato-based sauces. Keftedakia provide a good source of protein and iron, making them a satisfying option in balanced meals. However, frying can add extra calories and fats depending on the method of preparation. Opting for baking or using leaner meats can make them a healthier choice. They pair wonderfully with salads, dips, or whole-grain sides, aligning with the nutrient-dense and flavorful principles of Greek cooking.
