Minty Greek Meatballs. The Mediterranean Diet often uses mint in cooking, and it is a refreshing addition. These meatballs can be served as a main dish or an appetizer for a tasty treat.
Minty Greek Meatballs are a refreshing change. You will love these kabobs.
Minty Greek Meatballs are scrumptious.
The folks in the Mediterranean love to mix meats with herbs for a unique flavor. Minty Greek Meatballs (also known as kabobs) can be made with ground beef, lamb, or a combination of both. From start to finish, it takes about 35 minutes for this simple recipe. And I’m happy to say they can be made gluten free and dairy free, so I can eat them.
There’s just a bit of chopping and mixing before forming the mixture into round balls for baking. Then about 15-25 minutes, depending on the size of the meatball. For a simple supper, serve the meatballs hot with Baked Rice and a bit of Green Salad.
