18 ounces meat ground beef
5 tablespoons green olives stoned
5 ounces feta cheese 1 1/2 oz for topping + 3 1/2 for mixture
4 tablespoons dried breadcrumbs
7 tablespoons milk
4 tomatoes
2 eggs
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion
2 teaspoons capers
salt
pepper

1
Soak breadcrumbs in milk in a small bowl.
2
Peel and chop onion.
3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onion and let it melt gently.
4
In a salad bowl combine meat, eggs and breadcrumbs. Add salt.
5
When onions are translucent and soft, take them off heat and let them cool down.
6
Chop olives and feta cheese. Combine with meat mixture.
7
When onions have cooled down a little, add to mixture along with capers.
8
Shape into meatballs. (Don't make them too big, they would be more difficult to keep in one piece. A good size is slightly bigger than the tomato slice you're going to add on top ;-) )
9
Preheat oven to 350u00b0 F (180u00b0 C/Th 6).
10
Heat in a pan over medium/high heat 2 minutes on each side.
11
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to an ovenproof dish and dispose meatballs.

Rinse and slice tomatoes.

Add a tomato slice on top of each meatball. Top with feta cheese, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt and pepper.
14
Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until feta cheese has a nice golden color.
15
Serve with gratin dauphinois, green asparagus, mushroom baked potatoes or spinach souffles.
