This recipe has been posted here for play in CQ3 - Greece. This recipe is from Realgreekrecipes.blogspot.ca. Classic Greek meatballs are called Keftedes and Keftedakia are a smaller version of them. They can be eaten as a snack, as a meze with ouzo and or beer or just as part of a buffet meal. Children also love these quick and easy to make treats. I hope you will also.
