Greek food is undoubtedly at the top of my list as far as my favorite cuisines go. I came across this delicious Greek Lamb Meatballs recipe just before Easter in trying to find and make something different than that of the obligatory Easter Sunday ham. Being that specific meat, in general, has been difficult to come across at the supermarket, especially ground lamb. Luckily, my neighbor was recently placing an order through Whole Foods and helped us find some.
In addition to these tasty meatballs, you can serve them alongside some pita bread, arugula, lemons, sliced red onions, and tzatziki sauce. Speaking of tzatziki sauce, much like you can lather up these meatballs with this magical sauce, you can lather just about anything with it. Whether it be Easter, a family dinner, or a casual lunch, these Greek Lamb Meatballs are just what you need for quick and delicious comfort food! Enjoy!
