GREEK MEATBALLS AND RICE SKILLET
Some of the key flavors of Greek cuisine-mint, parsley, feta, garlic, lemon-infuse this simple skillet meal that delivers big flavors without going overboard on calories. A one-pot meal that cooks up in about an hour, it's made from a base of basic ingredients, like rice, chicken broth, panko bread crumbs and ground beef. And yet, this meal is far from basic. Skillet cooking ensures that the meatballs stay juicy, with the added bonus of extra-flavorful rice. Serving them up with fresh finishing touches like chopped tomatoes, lemon zest and a sprinkle of parsley makes for a delicious escape from routine!

Steps:
- 1. Pre-heat your oven to 400oF (200oC) and line a LARGE baking sheet (you might need 2).
- 2. Chop your feta cheese into small-ish dice (I aim for about a small fingernail size). Chop your olives, I chop mine in quarters, but smaller would be fine too.
- 3. In a bowl combine your minced lamb, olives and cheese. Mix with your hands. Form meatballs the size of a golf ball.
- 4. Place the meatballs as you make them on the baking trays. Pop into the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- 5. That's it! Serve and enjoy.

GREEK LAMB & FETA MEATBALLS
A recipe from one of my husband's colleagues. She said she usually just uses 1 lb of meat, since that's the typical pkg size and has substituted dried oregano, basil, parsley, and mint for the fresh herbs. It was a big hit at the party. Number of meatballs depends on how big you make each one; would work as an appetizer or part of a main dish.
