I love Greek and Mediterranean food. There are quite a few recipes inspired by Greek cuisine on my blog! Melitzanosalata (Greek Eggplant Salad), Lamb Souvlaki (Greek Lamb Skewers) and many more.

The truth is, I wouldn't be able to try some of the best Greek recipes if it wasn't for my fiancé who comes from Greece. This recipe is inspired by Soutzoukakia - meatballs cooked in rich tomato sauce.

Chia seeds are used for thickening the sauce. You don't have to use them if you don't mid the sauce runny, or you can use 1/ 2 tsp xanthan gum instead. Keep in mind that xanthan gum is not considered paleo-friendly. You can use any other oil suitable from high-heat cooking.

Martina Slajerova Creator of KetoDietApp.com I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.
