Delicious Mediterranean-style beef meatball sandwich with tangy tomato salad on soft bread.

Ingredients:

5 slices white bread, crusts removed, coarsely torn
60ml (1/4 cup) milk
500g beef mince
1 brown onion, finely grated
62.50 ml chopped fresh continental parsley
62.50 ml chopped fresh mint
2 1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves
60ml (1/4 cup) extra virgin olive oil
250g mini roma tomatoes, quartered
1 large Lebanese cucumber, halved lengthways, thinly sliced
60g baby spinach leaves, trimmed
31.50 gm fresh lemon juice
500g pkt Lebanese bread
200g bought tzatziki dip

Instructions:

In a bowl, gently soak the bread in milk for 3 minutes until softened. Squeeze out excess liquid from the bread, then finely chop it. Mix the bread, mince, onion, egg, parsley, mint, garlic, and 2 teaspoons of oregano in the same bowl. Shape the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls.
In a frying pan over medium-high heat, sizzle 2 tablespoons of oil. Sear half of the meatballs, flipping occasionally, for 8 minutes until fully cooked. Transfer to a tray and repeat with the remaining meatballs.
In a bowl, mix together the tomato, cucumber, and spinach. In a separate jug, whisk together the lemon juice, remaining oil, and remaining oregano. Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Serve the keftedes with the salad, bread, and tzatziki.
