  • 1 tsp harissa

Method

  1. For the meatballs, gently combine all ingredients (except the olive oil) in a mixing bowl
  2. Using your hands, roll meatballs and set aside - making sure not to make them too big
  3. Heat up olive oil in a stainless steel skillet (or cast iron) over medium-low heat
  4. When heated, place meatballs into the skillet and sear all sides. When browned, turn the heat down just a tad to make sure they are cooked to 160 degrees internally. Take off the heat and set aside
  5. To make the tzatziki, combine Greek yogurt, dill, lemon juice, grated cucumber, garlic salt and olive oil
  6. Stir the combine, and spoon onto a serving platter. Place meatballs on top of the tzatziki and serve!
