Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs or gluten-free breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 3 tablespoons grated white onion
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 ounces feta cheese crumbled

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the panko, parsley, grated onion, garlic, lemon zest and juice, egg, spices, salt and pepper, and feta.
  • Add the ground beef to the mixture and combine. Form tablespoon sized meatballs.
  • Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Serve with the tzatziki (I love Trader Joe's!), hummus, pickled onions and tomato cucumber salad. I like to eat mine over a mix of brown rice and arugula. You can also eat them in a pita.
