Ingredients
For the dipping sauce: 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 medium cucumber,( peeled, seeded and grated), 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint, 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice. Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
For the meatballs: 1/2 recipe Ground-Meat Mix (about 1 3/4 pounds) 3/4 cup finely crumbled feta cheese, 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes, Extra-virgin olive oil, for hands and baking sheet
Directions
- Make the dipping sauce: Mix together yogurt, cucumber, mint, lemon zest and juice, and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; season with pepper.
- Make the meatballs: Gently mix together meat, feta, oregano, and red-pepper flakes in a bowl; do not overmix. Form mixture into thirty 1 1/4-inch meatballs. (You may need to oil your hands to prevent mixture from sticking.) Slide 5 meatballs onto each of 6 metal skewers.
- Preheat broiler, with rack in top third of oven. Lightly brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil. Broil skewers on baking sheet until just cooked through and deep golden brown, about 8 minutes. Serve with dipping sauce.
