Tzatziki Sauce

Method

Preparing the Meatballs

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped mint, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Meatballs

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Roast the Meatballs

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and browned on the outside.

Preparing the Tzatziki Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, and lemon juice.

  2. 6

    Season the Sauce

    Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.

  3. 7

    Chill the Sauce

    Cover the tzatziki sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
