These Greek Lamb Meatballs with Feta Tzatziki are truly what dreams are made of.

Greek Lamb Meatballs with Tzatziki

lamb

red onion (finely chopped)

garlic (minced)

flat-leaf parsley (minced)

mint (minced)

panko breadcrumbs

salt

black pepper

Greek Yogurt

Persian cucumbers (small dice)

lemon

garlic (finely minced)

dill (chopped)

salt and freshly cracked black pepper

feta

parsley (to garnish)

Preheat the oven to broil.

In a medium bowl, combine lamb with all of the meatball ingredients. Form the meat into golf ball sized balls. Place the meatballs two inches apart on the baking sheet, and position the baking sheet a few inches from the heat source. Broil for about 5-7 minutes, turning once halfway through. Alternatively you can bake these at 425 for 8-10 minutes.

Combine the ingredients for the feta tzatziki. Serve alongside the meatballs for dipping.

We add cumin to the lamb but otherwise LOVE these. This dinner is a huge hit with our 6 and 9 year old kids, and the leftovers (we double the recipe) make for a great packed lunch.

Fantastic! Lovely soft tender tasty meatballs. And the sauce is amazing, although maybe next time I won't put a much lemon... the one I had was quite large. Family of 5 are 2x the recipe with couscous (made using chicken stock with grape tomatoes and lemon juice) and streamed brocolini.
Yum!

My meatballs needed more salt but overall a hit! That tzatziki is the best I’ve ever had and so easy, I made it in the few minutes it took to broil the meatballs!

AMAZING recipe! I made a huge batch and froze half. My 4 kids loved it and I will make this again and again!

I made these as written and they were a hit around the family, from youngest to oldest. Being a soccer coach, I work in the afternoons and evenings. I made these during the day and kept them in the fridge, along with a simple tomato/cucumber/red onion salad. I also cut up pita and brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with salt. When I got home from training, I popped the meatballs in the oven for 5 min, followed by the pita for a min to toast it, and dinner was ready! Next time I will try with ground turkey or chicken. Thank you for a a quick, weeknight recipe that can be prepped in advance and goes beyond the normal pasta/casserole/slow cooker dish (not that I have anything against those!).

I want to give TEN STARS. I made the greek chopped salad as well. What a wonderful dinner. I did cheat and used tzatziki from Trader Joes and added the feta. I also did not broil the meatballs- instead roasted at high temp (and probably overcooked a tiny bit but who cares when the taste is so good).

YUM... had left overs for lunch yesterday. Oh so good.

Ooooh, this sounds like the perfect summer meal. Light and delicious!

These are incredibly delicious.  We actually grill them in a grill basket and they are even better.

I saw this recipe in the email today and made it for dinner tonight! It sounded great (and easy!) and it was both. So flavorful. This will definitely be added to the weeknight rotation.
The recipe directions are a little spare—it would be better to divide the ingredient list by meatball and tzatziki—but it works out as written.
