Mr. and I had another successful dinner at home this week. I know what you are thinking; Mrs. O only has to cook one day week...how hard is that?? Well, when your husband works in a restaurant 6 days a week the last thing he wants to do is cook and clean up afterwards. Mr. O and I love Greek food! We love the flavors and there is something about Greek food that is refreshing. After a couple minutes of deliberation we decided to make Greek meatballs and serve them with pita and homemade tzatkizi. This week I adapted
Gina's Skinny Taste meatballs. We substituted ground beef for ground turkey, and left out the zucchini. I made the meatballs a bit larger, so after I cooked them in the frying pan, I finished them off in the oven just to make sure they were cooked thoroughly. I also made tzatkizi to accompany the meatballs. The tzatkizi recipe is something that I have come up with on my own. The recipe is all follows:
Tzatkizi
-1 cup Greek style yogurt
-Half of a peeled cucumber, diced with seeds taken out
-Juice from half of a lemon
-3 sprigs of fresh Dill, I like a little extra dill
-1 tsp. of Kosher salt
-Mix ingredients together and refrigerate until ready to serve
This dinner is perfect for the warmer weather that is upon us. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of our fabulous Greek feast. I hope to keep the streak going next week.
