Instrucțiuni

1. Combine all meatballs ingredients in a large bowl.

Use your hands to thoroughly mix and mash the mixture together. Scoop and roll into 24 mini meatballs.

Heat a good glug of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add half of meatballs and cook until golden, rotating to brown all sides, about 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with second batch.

Meanwhile, prepare Cucumber-Avocado Salad by combining all ingredients in a large bowl; mix well.

Serve meatballs over white rice with Cucumber-Avocado Salad and a scoop of tzatziki. Drizzle components with a little olive oil and garnish with extra fresh dill (optional) and cracked black pepper.
