Preparation steps

1.

Tear about 100 grams ((approximately 3 1/2 ounces)) of pita into pieces and soak in lukewarm water to soften. Peel garlic and onion, chop finely. Heat butter in a skillet and cook onion and garlic until translucent. Set aside and let cool slightly.

2.

Squeeze the soaked bread and add the ground beef, garlic,

3.

onions, parsley, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper and knead to combine.

4.

Crumble the feta. With moistened hands form 12 round meatballs. Dividing evenly push the feta cheese into the center of each meatball and close the meat around it.

5.

In a pan heat the olive oil and saute the meatballs until cooked through, about 8 minutes.

6.

Arrange the meatballs on plates on top of slices of tomato, round flat breads and  a cucumber-onion salad (recipe follows).

7.

Peel the onions and chop. Halve cucumbers lengthwise, scoop out and discard seeds and dice.  Combine onion, cucumber, parsley, lemon juice, salt, pepper, honey and Tabasco and let stand about 30 minutes for flavors to blend. Garnish with lemon peel strips.
