Spanikopita Meatballs with Tzatziki

Greek food is one of my favorite things to eat. I love the fresh flavors that are associated with Mediterranean cooking. I also really love meatballs :) So they are a natural combination! For this meal I just combined the meatballs with some tzatziki and roasted vegetables.

Meatball recipe:
1 lb. ground chicken breast
1 box frozen spinach (defrosted and squeezed dry)
8 oz feta cheese cubed
1 small onion finely diced
2 garlic cloves minced
salt and pepper
Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl and form into balls about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a greased baking pan and bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes on each side. You can broil them for an extra 2 minutes at the end to get some browning on top.

Tzatziki recipe:
1 cup greek yogurt
1 cup shredded cucumber
2 garlic cloves minced
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp fresh dill chopped
pinch of salt
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

For the roasted vegetables I cut up a red bellpepper, mushrooms, onion, zuchini, and squash. I seasoned them with garlic salt, pepper, and EVOO. Then baked them in the oven with the meatballs for about 20 minutes
