Family-style Meatball Souvlaki
Greek-style meatballs served on warm pita bread. These are called family-style because each diner can dress up their souvlaki, as they like, with such things as hummus, tzatziki and fresh vegetables.

Family-style Meatball Souvlaki
Prep Time35 Minutes
Servings6
Cook Time20 Minutes
Ingredients
500 grams lean ground beef
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup dried bread crumbs
1/3 cup finely crumbled feta cheese
1/2 tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
shredded lettuce and cubes of red onion, tomato and cucumber, to taste
hummus and tzatziki, to taste (see Note)
6 Greek-style pita bread, warmed (see Note)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, unless it’s non-stick. Place beef, egg, garlic, breadcrumbs, feta, oregano, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix well to combine.
- Moisten your hands lightly with cold water, then roll beef mixture into 24, about 1 1/2-inch balls, setting them on the baking sheet as you go along. Roast the meatballs 20 minutes, or until cooked.
- Transfer meatballs to a serving dish. Now let diners make their own souvlaki, by topping the pita bread with 4 meatballs and their desired amounts of lettuce, onion, tomato, cucumber, hummus and tzatziki.
Note: Tubs of hummus and tzatziki, and bags of Greek-style (pocketless) pita bread, are sold in our Deli Department. You can warm the pita bread by wrapping them in foil and popping them into the oven for five to seven minutes. Do that when the meatballs are almost cooked.
