Description
A vibrant and hearty bowl featuring browned meatballs, roasted potatoes, and a refreshing Greek salad.
Ingredients
For the Meatballs
- 1 lb Ground beef (You can use ground lamb for a richer flavor.)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Oregano, dried
- 2 tbsp Parsley, fresh, chopped (Use a handful for fresh color.)
- 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs (Coarse breadcrumbs give better texture.)
For the Potatoes
- 4 medium Potatoes, cut into wedges (You can substitute with sweet potatoes.)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil (For roasting.)
For the Greek Salad
- 1/4 cup Red onion, chopped
For Serving
- 1/2 cup Feta cheese, crumbled (Adds a salty, tangy flavor.)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (Optional, choose based on preference.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, minced garlic, onion powder, oregano, parsley, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and form into meatballs.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides.
- While the meatballs are cooking, chop the potatoes into wedges, season with salt, pepper, and olive oil, and spread them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- In a separate bowl, chop cucumber, red onion, and tomato for the Greek salad. Dress with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Serving
- Once the meatballs are cooked through, serve them in a bowl alongside roasted potatoes and Greek salad. Top with feta and Parmesan cheese.
Notes
Serve family style or plate with a lemon wedge for squeezing. Adding yogurt or tzatziki on the side is an excellent counterpoint.
