Greek meatballs, or keftedes, are flavorful, juicy meatballs made with ground meat (beef/lamb), breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, and a signature blend of fresh herbs like mint, parsley, and oregano, often with spices like cumin and nutmeg. They are typically pan-fried or baked until golden and served as an appetizer (mezze), main course, or in a pita, often with a lemon-based sauce or tzatziki.
