Greek Meatballs with Tzaziki

May 12, 2013 By admin 4 comments

Welcome! Are you a subscriber? Click here to receive my weekly newsletter. Thanks for visiting!

I want to share a quick and easy meal that I love, LOVE that uses one of my favorite meats: Lamb.  I know what you are thinking, this is a ‘foreign’ meat to you all.  You may never buy it, maybe you don’t know how to prepare it?

A few weeks ago the folks at Superior Farms sent me a shipment of meat to sample.  Sample I did!
I made Pasticcio (my favorite Greek dish) and these little beauties.  I urge you to check out their site if you are unsure how to prepare lamb.. It is a great resource and I am not ashamed to admit that I use company websites for a lot of my recipe help.  I mean, who better to help me than the company themselves?

These little meatballs are great on their own and even better as a burger.  I have made them both ways.  It just so happens than on this particular night I needed apps.
