Miso-Garlic Beef Meatballs & Olive Yogurt

1.Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2.In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped olives, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

3.Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.

4.Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and slightly browned on the outside.

5.While the meatballs are baking, prepare the olive yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, white miso paste, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.

6.Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.

7.Serve the meatballs warm, drizzled with the miso-garlic yogurt sauce and garnished with fresh parsley.
