Tzatziki & Keftedakia Recipe

Something that I have noticed over the past few years especially is that so many girls(& guys for that matter) have no idea how to cook anymore. I cannot tell you how many people I know tell me "I can cook macaroni & cheese & make a bowl of cereal & that's about it"...oh dear. Well if that's you don't worry this is Greek food made easy and its so delicious :)

I have been meaning to add a tzatziki recipe for a long time but never got around to it (or took pictures when making it) so today I finally am!

Tzatziki

4 cups plain Greek yogurt (I use fat free)

1-2 cucumber(s) seeded & graded

a large handful of chopped fresh dill

2 cloves of garlic, mashed(or pressed)

a good drizzle of olive oil

the juice of 1/2-1 lemon

2 leaves of fresh mint, chopped

a good pinch of salt

optional drop of Ouzo

Combine & serve!

Keftedakia

1 lb. ground beef &/or lamb mix

3 gloves garlic, chopped

1 1/2 tsp. oregano, minced onion, & marjoram mix

2 tablespoons lemon juice

salt

pepper

Combine ingredients in a bowl, make into small balls. Then cook/fry in a pan with heated olive oil.

Place on paper towels to collect grease, then serve with the tzatziki & some feta.

Keftedakia are pretty much "little meatballs" but don't underestimate them, they are delicious!
