Ingredients
Preparation method
Getting started
Peel and finely chop the red onion and 2 garlic cloves. Finely chop the fresh mint leaves, and coarsely crumble the feta cheese with a fork.
Grate the cucumber on a coarse grater and squeeze it very well using your hands or a clean towel to remove excess water. In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the squeezed cucumber, 1 crushed garlic clove, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, juice of half a lemon, a pinch of salt, and a little chopped mint. Place the tzatziki sauce in the fridge.
Preparing the mixture and shaping
In a large bowl, place the minced chicken, red onion, chopped garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, dried oregano, remaining chopped mint, finely grated lemon zest, and crumbled feta cheese. Season with salt and ground black pepper.
Chef's tip
For particularly tender and juicy meatballs, do not overmix the meat mixture and chill it for 5-10 minutes before shaping.
You can serve the keftedes alongside warm Greek pita bread and a fresh tomato and olive salad.
