Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 450 grams mixed Ground meat
- 1 day-old kaiser roll
- 1 onion
- 20 grams butter
- ½ tsp marjoram
- ½ bunch parsley
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 Tbsps clarified butter
- 2 cups Greek yogurt 300 grams (approximately 11 ounces)
- ½ Cucumber
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs mint

Preparation steps
For the meatballs, remove the crust from the bread and soak the bread in lukewarm water. Peel the onion and garlic, chop finely and fry in butter. Let cool slightly, then knead with the ground meat, onion, soaked bread (squeeze out the excess water), salt, pepper and marjoram. Chop the parsley finely; mix into the meat mixture. Using wet hands, form balls 4 cm (approximately 1 1/2 inches) in diameter. Heat the butter and fry the meatballs on all sides.
For the tzatziki, peel the cucumber, cut in half lengthwise, scrape out the seeds with a spoon and finely grate the flesh. Peel the garlic, press through a garlic press and mix with the yogurt. Mix in the cucumber and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Spread the tzatziki on plates, place four meatballs on top of each plate, and serve garnished with mint leaves.
