Fry the Meatballs

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the meatballs in batches, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 8–10 minutes total. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain excess oil.
4 Make the Lemon Rice

While the meatballs cook, prepare the rice. In a saucepan, heat olive oil, then stir in rice to toast slightly for 1–2 minutes. Add broth, lemon juice, and zest. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for 15–18 minutes until fluffy. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Stir in chopped dill or parsley.
5 Serve

Spoon lemon rice onto plates and top with warm keftedes. Add a side of Greek yogurt or tzatziki, and garnish with extra herbs and a lemon wedge. Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant Mediterranean meal.
