-House of Nash Eats

Meatballs
1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 lb. ground lamb or pork
1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley
3 tablespoons grated onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
Zest of 1 lemon
1 egg
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 ounces crumbled feta cheese

Sandwiches
4-5 pita bread
2 Roma tomato, sliced
1/2 small red onion, sliced thin
Greek Tzatziki sauce

Meatball preparation
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients, gently using your hands to mix everything together until the meat is uniformly seasoned.
3. Divide the mixture in half, then in half again so you have 4 equal parts. From there, divide each portion of the meatball mixture into 5 meatballs so you end up with 20 equal-sized meatballs. Roll each meatball between your hands to shape it and then arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake in the preheated oven from 10-14 minutes, until they are nicely brown and cooked through.

Gyro assembly
1. To assemble gyros, warm the pitas on a grill or in the oven, just until soft.
2. Place a few slices of tomato and some of the red onions onto each pita bread, then top with 4 or 5 meatballs. Add a couple dollops of tzatziki sauce and serve with Greek feta fries.
