    I made this tonight without mint as I couldn’t find any. Also I added chopped orange bell pepper to the meatballs. The meatballs turned out great they were very fresh tasting. The sauce was ok but not the best one I’ve had. Over all it was very delicious

    Tzatziki is the sauce the Gods pour over their food.

      Yes the ancient Greek gods looked down upon the humans and did bestow food gifts when they were feeling it - this dish & a large jug of grappa - 3000 years later we still LOVE this dish

    I grew up with neighbors from a Greek island so I learned lots about Greek food..the tzaziki sauce is the way they made it..cucumber garlic dill lemon yogurt sometimes a bit of tahini olive oil on top so it must be authentic. The meatballs had I think a dash of Cinnamon in them or some spice like that...this meal looks like a winner and on my weekly menu ..love this channel...great job and thank you!!!

PS... so glad you had a magical visit with your wonderful Nonna. Oh how I adored the pic you posted of her relaxing her feet on the outdoor ottoman--precious moments.

    There maybe a lot of variations to suit anyone's taste but the traditional Greek Meatballs mixture is as above but also add 1 egg, bit of oil, and a bit of wet bread. This will make the meatballs softer when eating. No dill is used in this dish. Frying after coating them with flour. From the herbs the prominent aroma should be mint, so use more than the other herbs.

    In greece we also put 1 egg, breadcrumbs and olive oil. And then we fry them in a pot with olive oil (a lot) or we put them in the oven.
    But the breadcrumbs and the egg make the difference! Try it!💓
    P.s. keftedakia with fried potatoes of course

    If anyone wants to come back to you in argument of what is 'authentic', IGNORE! There is no such thing.
    Each part of Greece has different ways, different thoughts, different customs, ... from one suburb to the next & from one island to the next. Combine that with a time frame; what was a Greek meatball now days? 20 years ago? 100 years ago? 500 years ago or even older? Intermingle that with migrations or invasions over the millennia... EVERYTHING changes!
    You're right... it's about what suits & what tastes good!
