Greek Meatballs (Keftedes) in Pitas with Tzatziki

Having seen this recipe for Greek Meatballs I just had to try it. Meatballs with dill, lemon and feta... They just have to be amazing! They are great by themselves, but toss them in a lightly toasted Greek style pita with some tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki and they are even better.

1/2 onion (finely chopped)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 pound lean ground lamb or beef or pork etc.
1 slice of bread (pulsed in a food processor)
1/4 cup milk
1 lemon (zest only)
1 egg
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon fresh dill or mint (finely chopped)
1/4 cup feta cheese (crumbled, optional)
salt & pepper to taste
* greek style pitas
1 tomato (chopped)
1/2 red onion (chopped)
1 cup Tzatziki sauce

Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a pan.
2. Saute the onions until tender.
3. Add the garlic and remove from heat.
4. Mix everything in a bowl.
5. Roll the mixture into balls.
6. Brown the meatballs in a pan. (About 8-10 minutes.)
7. Lightly toast the pita in a pan.
8. Place the meatballs, tomatoes, onions and Tzatziki sauce in the pita and enjoy.
