Ingredients

Fresh parsley

1/4 cup, chopped

Lemon juice

2 tablespoons

Greek yogurt

1 cup

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Salt

1 teaspoon

Egg

1, beaten

Fresh oregano

1/4 cup, chopped

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Onion

1 small, finely chopped

Breadcrumbs

1/2 cup

Ground beef

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped oregano, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the meatballs to the skillet. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meatballs are browned on all sides and cooked through.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped parsley to create a refreshing sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve the meatballs hot, accompanied by the yogurt sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy with warm pita bread or over a bed of rice.
