Step 1

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except flour and oil. You want everything well incorporated, but don’t overwork it. This can make the meatballs tough.

Step 2

Roll the meatballs into equal sized spheres. As they will go in pita bread, these aren’t giant meatballs, around 1¼ inches. This recipe makes around 28-32 meatballs.

Step 3

Spread the flour on a plate, then dredge the meatballs in it so they get a light dusting.

Step 4

Working in batches if necessary, fry the meatballs in a little olive oil till brown on all sides.

Step 5

Serve with pita bread, tzatziki, cucumbers, tomatoes and kalamata olives.
