Mini Greek Meatballs

I am all about having quick, easy and healthy recipes and this is one of them. It is from the South Beach Cookbook.  

1 pound lean ground beef

1/2 small onion, minced

1/2 cup finely crumbled feta cheese

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 large egg

1 tbs. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for baking dish

1 tbs. dried oregano

1 tbs plus 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Heat oven to 400 F

Combine beef, onion, cheese, garlic, egg, 1 tbs. oil, oregano, vinegar, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl.  Kneed to combine, being careful not to overmix.

Lightly oil, a 9-by 13-inch baking dish.  Shape meat mixture into 40 (1 tbs.) meatballs.  Place in a single layer in the baking dish and bake until cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.  Serve hot.

(I usually serve with couscous)
