In my last post, I shared the recipe for my Greek Chicken Meatballs and told you I'd be back with another recipe using those same meatballs. It's part of my Cook Once, Eat Twice philosophy of cooking. I like making a large batch of these delicious meatballs and then using them in lots of other dishes. These meatballs are very versatile and they freeze well so they're prefect when you need to get a quick meal on the table. My Greek Meatball Pita Sandwiches are great for a light lunch or dinner. Simply tuck a couple of meatballs into a pita pocket, add some fresh spinach, tomato and a dollop of homemade tzatziki, and you're ready to go! You may want to make extra tzatziki- it's great with grilled meat, sandwiches, as a dip for vegetables and much more.
