Where to find ingredients
You can find these fresh ingredients at your local community market or neighborhood trade store. For the ground beef, visit a local butcher or the fresh meat counter. If you cannot find fresh cheese, a firm feta or a mild mozzarella can be used as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Season the cheese cubes with oregano and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, crushed garlic, chopped parsley, and salt.
- Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring well until you achieve a homogeneous and binded dough.
- Take small portions of the meat mixture, flatten them in your palm, and place a seasoned cheese cube in the center.
- Carefully fold the meat over the cheese and roll it between your hands to form the meatballs.
- Place the meatballs on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- While the meatballs are baking, heat the tomato sauce in a pan.
- Serve the meatballs hot, drizzled with the warm tomato sauce.
