Deep Fried Meatballs

Written by Published on Updated on September 17, 2018 in Appetizers, Mediterranean cuisine

Hey there everyone, I hope you are all well..I have been back since Saturday and working on getting back into things, but the truth is that it is very hard.  It was nice to see some family and friends, most were quite busy so it was unfortunate that we could not meet but that is ok next time for sure.  I wasn’t able to post these few weeks that I was away because of lack of internet access, so I took a few photos of what I found so delicious and decided to post these few food bites. 🙂

Athens was busy and hectic and HOT!! but interesting to see how some things have changed this past year.  I met up with my mom and headed to this little Tavern near her house which has amazing home cooked meals, one of their specialties are the Deep Fried Meatballs they had which were just amazing in texture and taste.  Since it is Deep Fried you can’t really eat much of it so the dish is quite simple as you can see in the photo topped with just a dash of Oregano. 🙂  The recipe to these Deep Fried Meatballs are similar to the ones that I make at home with the difference that I usually bake them, and I do love to eat deep friend foods sometimes.   

This will be a short post as it is my first in a while, but I have so many to post with such delicious recipes I picked up while being back in Greece. 

Have a great week everyone!!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
