  • ½ cup super fine almond flour
  • ½ cup feta cheese, cubed
  • ⅓ cup red onion, finely minced
  • 2 whole eggs, beaten
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons dried dill

  • Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, red onion, almond flour, garlic, dill, mint, dried oregano, salt and pepper to a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Add in the ground beef and pork, then mix just until combined. Make sure not to over mix, or they can become tough and dense.
