This bowl brings together everything I love about Greek cuisine – spicy keftedes, creamy tzatziki, fresh ingredients from the classic Greek salad and kritharaki – also known as risoni or orzo – which is shaped like rice and often used in hearty baked dishes or stews. Together, they create a colourful, flavourful bowl that will bring a holiday vibe to your table.

Tzatziki

Mix the cucumber and salt, place in a sieve and leave to absorb for approx. 30 mins. Squeeze the cucumber well (by hand or with a clean piece of muslin), then place it in a bowl. Add the yoghurt, garlic and mint, mix, season. Keep the tzatziki covered in the fridge until ready to serve.

Meatballs

Place the breadcrumbs and milk in a bowl, cover and leave to soak for approx. 15 mins. Heat the oil in a pan. Sauté the onion and garlic for approx. 5 mins., add to the bowl of breadcrumbs. Add the mince and sultanas, season, knead well by hand until the ingredients have combined to form a compact mass. With wet hands, shape into 28 balls.

To fry the meatballs

Heat the oil in a wide non-stick frying pan. Fry the meatballs for approx. 6 mins. all over.

Risoni

Cook the risoni in boiling salted water for approx. 8 mins. until al dente. Drain the risoni, mix with the lemon zest, lemon juice, balsamic, oil, oregano, feta and olives.

Bowl
