Ouzo Meatballs image

I love meatballs and I love all kinds of them. This version with Greek spices can be used as appetizer, as "Hamburger" or cooked again in tomato sauce. Mint, Dill and Ouzo give them the special touch! If you dont' have ouzo feel free to usa any anised spirits (for example the french "pastis").

I followed the recipe exactly and the meatballs turned out perfectly. They were cooked through but still juicy.

These meatballs are so moist and flavorful. I love the combination of spices and the ouzo adds a really nice touch.

I was a bit hesitant to try these meatballs because I'm not a big fan of ouzo, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavor was subtle and not overpowering at all.

I've made these meatballs several times now, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're so easy to make, and the flavor is out of this world.
