Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Slice the onion into half rings and crush or mince the garlic.
  • In a bowl, combine the mince with the mayonnaise, the cornstarch, the Greek-style spices* and the garlic. 

*Take care, this ingredient can quickly become overpowering! Check the amount carefully and add gradually as preferred.

Make the meatballs
2
  • Shape the mince into four meatballs per person.
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the meatballs with the onion for 2 - 3 minutes, or until evenly browned.
  • Lower the heat cover with the lid.
  • Fry for 5 - 6 minutes, or until the meatballs are done.
Finish
