The perfect kritharaki casserole with meatballs and feta recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
Meatballs:
- 2 small Garlic cloves
- 300 g Ground beef
- 1 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 tsp Mustard hot
- 1,5 tbsp Dried thyme
- 1 tbsp Dried marjoram
- 2 tbsp Breadcrumbs
- 3 tbsp Milk
- 1 tsp Salt
- Pepper
- 4 tbsp Sunflower oil
Sauce for the casserole:
- 1 medium sized Onion
- 2 size Garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp Dried thyme
- 1 tbsp go. Tomato paste
- 1,5 tsp struck Salt
- Pepper
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 pinch Cinnamon
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp Sweet paprika
- 425 ml Tomatoes a.d. Can in pieces
- 350 Vegetable broth
- 50 ml Milk
- 2 tbsp go. Creme fraiche Cheese
- 170 g Kritharaki noodles (Greek type of noodle in rice form)
- 150 g Roughly crumbled feta cheese
Yogurt Dip:
- 300 g Mini cucumber
- 200 g Greek yogurt 10% fat
- 140 g Sour cream
- 2 tbsp go. Lowfat quark
- 1,5 tsp Salt
- Pepper
- 1 tsp go. Ground garlic
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Mild vinegar
Meatballs:
- Skin the garlic cloves, chop them very finely and mix with the minced meat, all the spices and the remaining ingredients in a bowl. Shape it into balls about 3.5 cm in size and fry them all around in a larger pan in sunflower oil. When they are browned, take them out of the pan and store them for a short time. Have the pan with the roasting set ready for the sauce.
Sauce for the casserole:
- Preheat the oven to 175 ° convection. Skin the onion and garlic. Dice the onion and chop the garlic very finely. Sweat both in the roasting set of the meatballs until translucent. Then add the thyme first, sweat it briefly and then add the Tomten pulp. Then deglaze with canned tomatoes and vegetable stock, bring to the boil and sprinkle in all the spices. Add the sugar to taste slightly piquant, stir in the milk and crème fraîche, simmer for another 1 minute and then transfer to a casserole dish (20 x 20). Mix with the raw kritharaki noodles, distribute the meatballs evenly and sprinkle the slightly crumbled feta over everything.
- Slide the mold into the oven on the 2nd rail from below. The cooking time is 30 – 40 minutes. From 30 minutes onwards, try something once. When the pasta is still slightly firm to the bite, the casserole can be taken out of the oven and served. A refreshing dip goes well with it.
Yogurt Dip:
- Wash the cucumbers, dry them and grate them roughly. Mix well with all other ingredients and – if desired – serve for the casserole.
