Cooking Notes

These little meatballs by themselves are nice, but I think they'd really shine with a zesty, herbaceous" supporting dish." I served them with zucchini noodles, feta, and mint and liked it, but I think a hearty Greek salad with olives, cucumbers, tomato, red onion, and herbs would be the perfect pairing. They have nice, subtle flavor but are asking to be paired with more!

I’m thinking these would be nice with gyro fixings (diced tomato, cucumber, onion, tzatziki, pita). Sometimes I deconstruct it, all chopped in a bowl with added lettuce and some rice pilaf. Thoughts?

I subbed fresh, chopped basil for the mint and added the olive oil directly into the meatball mix. Placed the rolled up meatballs on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan. They turned out moist and I had a no-fuss clean up!

Laura

These are fantastic! They are easy, quick, and have great flavor. I used chicken and they turned out super moist. Definitely the best meatball I’ve ever made. Be sure to lightly mix the ingredients and just drop them on the sheet as a loose ball, don’t compact. I put them on a bed of arugula, with hummus, tzatziki, pickled onions, kalamata olives and cucumber. Pita would be a nice addition.

Quick and delicious. While making, I wondered - no garlic? I thought of adding some in the mixture but forgot. But while the meatballs baked, I whipped up garlic yogurt sauce - Greek yogurt w its whey, lemon juice and zest, garlic microplaned in, salt. Ate w pita, more mint leaves, sliced cucumbers. Quick and satisfying dinner!

Natalie

Great, easy recipe. The only issue was the salt. A tsp of kosher salt is too much with the feta already adding ample salt. I’d half it or skip the extra salt altogether next time.

The standard Quaker Oats are old fashioned rolled oats. You're all set.

Jan Bending

I loved these meatballs and my family loved them too. They are easy to make, and I'm hoping the meatballs will freeze well. I think they would make a great snack on a car trip. They are heart healthy. I will make it again very soon. Also, I liked the idea of serving them with a nice Greek salad.

I replaced the mint with (double) basil and added a tablespoon of spicy avocado salsa. The recipe yielded exactly 20 meatballs, which I cooked in cast iron on the stovetop for 5 minutes, turning them so they browned all over. Easy and delicious. We added a Greek-ish salad with grape tomatoes (plucked from our So Cal autumn yard), green pepper, red onion, arugula, and radishes, tossed in a horseradish mustard-red wine vinaigrette. Very satisfying.

Peter

My favorite way to serve these is over a bed of romaine and feta, cucumbers, olive oil, and a yogurt-lemon-dill dressing, with roasted broccoli and asparagus.

This recipe can be moved in any direction - I did it as Thai-like by chopping coriander stems with jalapeños, garlic and red onion, adding oatmeal and yogurt and red pepper for quick mix-in to food processor, them mixing ground turkey with the resultant mixture - rolling balls with generously oiled hands and cooking them on parchment made for mess-free cleanup with no sticking. A coconut milk, lime juice and fishsauce combo with a little soy sauce then brought meatballs and noodles together.

Francesca

Terrific meatballs — light, flavorful — but I agree with commenters who say they should be served with a sauce of some kind. Despite the chopped herbs and cheese sprinkled on at the end they were a little sad and dry rolling around on the plate. Will make again, but with a light tomato sauce or maybe tzatziki on the side.

AC

Fired this up in the air fryer to save the pan. Started with finely chopped garlic -3 cloves and half a white onion diced… yogurt made it really nice and moist high air fry at 390 degrees F …15-17 mins Didn’t have any mint so went withcilantro. Feta is crucial but forgot the lemon .. dang! Excellent however and will make again

Margaux

Half a lemon at the end was too much, but it was all good. I would make again for myself because of its healthy and tastes pretty good, but i wouldn’t make it for my daughter and i again. They weren’t good Enough. The meatballs from the Italian wedding soup far exceeded these in flavor, just the meatballs on their own. The whole soup was so good, too!

Thorina Rose

I don't have rolled oats. Has anyone subbed them with cooked quinoa or cooked rice? I think that should work but I'd love to hear if anyone has tried that!

Jenna

Served with a Greek salad, homemade tzatziki, and roasted vegetables with dill. You may have to crank up the heat to get them to brown, I waited too long and they got a little dry. But overall easy recipe and great flavor

Cathy S

I allow the meatball mixture to rest for a minute and then pan-fry a small ball. This helps me test for salt or more herbs before the mix is shaped.

Jen H.

Super easy to prepare and surprisingly flavorful.

Allie

Have made these a few times, they're so easy. I like to double the recipe and freeze them!

Jen C.

These are now a family favorite! I add some breadcrumbs along the way and also double the recipe because everyone-from my toddler niece and teen daughter to my mother-loves them. We serve them with pita, lettuce, tomato, cucumber and tzatziki sauce. Sometimes I cut them in half and have them on a cucumber slice with a little tzatziki sauce!

Cindy from Boston

This was an amazing recipe! Again, on spot with 30 minute prep. Loved the reader's thoughts and actually did add the EVVO to the mixture and used parchment paper for an easy clean up. Served with roasted red potatoes and asparagus.....added a bit of extra lemon, feta and mint across the board (on veggies, potatoes and meatballs:) Another winner in our house!!!

ELH

Absolutely delicious and versatile. Added a coupla minced cloves of garlic and a shallot, as I do. Mixed the ingredients in the morning and then shaped into meatballs and cooked in the eve which made for a snappy dinner prep. Will be making this again and again.

Hannah

What a fabulous weeknight/ meal prep dinner! Came together super fast. Trust the oats! We served with tatziki, pitas, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and pickled onions. Will be making a double recipe for lots of leftovers next time!

AF

Use Ali Slagel’s instead.

Erica

Used beef and added about 1/4 cup of oatmeal Red pepper tooUsed little oven 7/3/23

Jane

These are delicious. I didn't have yogurt so I used a tablespoon of tahini instead. Served them with saffron rice and broccoli.
