Meat balls are a good way to sneak some veggies into your picky eaters' tummies. I always add some grated veggies to the meat balls and they taste super yummy and healthy for you and the eaters do not have to know, that they are eating a veggie, otherwise they will not touch.
Mediterranean Meat Balls (Dill filled Meat balls with Zucchini)
Mediterranean Meat balls
Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean ground meat
- 1 medium small zucchini grated and squeezed out to get as much liquid out as possible
- 3/4- 1 cup loosely packed Dill weed, chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon each of salt, cumin powder, coriander powder
- 1/2-1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated red onion, squeezed out for liquid
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs (optional)
Mix all the ingredients together and set aside for 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Make about 12-16 meat balls and lay them in a oven safe pan 1 inch apart. Bake for 15 minutes. Drain as much liquid off of the pan and flip the meat balls and bake 10-15 minutes. Enjoy with spaghetti and marinara sauce or with Pita bread
