Instructions
If serving in bowls as suggested in this post, first prepare the Greek salad (dress salad later, if you prefer) and Tzatziki sauce. Set aside or refrigerate for now.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to a large cast iron skillet and set aside.
In a mixing bowl add the ground beef, 1 egg, spices, salt and pepper, and 1 tbsp lemon zest. Mix by hand until until mixture is fully incorporated.
Form the meat mixture into balls (each the size of a heaping tablespoon.) Roll meatballs into the arrowroot to lightly coat and place them in the skillet.
Place the skillet in the oven and cook the meatballs for 15 minutes.
Remove from the meatballs from the oven and serve them over rice or roasted chickpeas.
Serve with your Greek salad and yogurt dill sauce.
