Ingredients
- 500 g beef mince
- 50 g feta
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, grated or crushed
- 1/2 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped - or 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp dried breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- Salt and pepper
- Cooking spray or oil*
Instructions
- Mix the mince with the onion, garlic, chilli, parsley, egg, spices, breadcrumbs and crumbled feta.
- Season with salt and pepper and, if time allows, leave the mixture to rest for a quarter of an hour or so.
- Shape the mixture into round meatballs or flat patties of about 35 g each.
- Place them in the basket of your air fryer and give them a light coating of cooking spray.*If you don't have cooking spray, rub a little oil on your hands and give each meatball/patty a quick "hug" so it gets a thin film of oil on the surface.
- Cook them for about 12 minutes at 190°C on the air fryer setting.Check on them after 8 minutes – not all air fryers heat the same way.Depending on the type of air fryer you have, you may need to turn the patties/shake the basket of meatballs halfway through cooking.
- Serve your Greek meatballs with a good tzatziki, a crisp salad, pitta bread, flatbread or similar.
