Keftedakia

(Κεφτέδες, Κεφτεδάκια)

Flavorful, fluffy, and tender, keftedakia are Greek meatballs made from a combination of ground pork and beef, eggs, stale bread or breadcrumbs, and seasonings such as dill, pepper, parsley, and oregano. The mixture is shaped into small balls which are then fried in olive oil.


Their round shape makes them ideal for popular Greek picnics where keftedakia are consumed as snacks, but the meatballs can also be consumed as appetizers or as a main course. It is recommended to top the meatballs with some butter and a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.
