Keftedakia in the Air Fryer with Kefalotyri

Frixos Demetriades

I am passionate about cooking - I have always been pursuing happiness through good food, fine wine, my dogs, and of course, with my family and friends! 

Being raised in a home where good home cooking was shared with friends and family almost every other day, it was not difficult at all to embrace the concept of “you live to eat”.

Ingredients

  • 1Kg Beef Mince, chuck
  • 150g Kefalotyri 5 Month Mature, Charalambides Christis, grated
  • 2 Eggs
  • 3 tbsp Straggato Yoghurt Authentic, Charalambides Christis
  • 2 Small/Medium Onions, finely minced
  • 3 tbsp EVOO, Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • ½ cup Fresh Parsley, finely chopped
  • ½ tbsp, Dry Coriander, ground
  • ½ tbsp, Dry Oregano, ground
  • 25ml White Wine Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 6 tbsp Breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1 ½ tsp Fine Sea Salt
  • ½ tsp freshly cracked Black Pepper

Instructions

Place a small pot on medium heat and pour the oil. Allow to heat up and drop in the onions, frying for about 5’ to soften. Remove from the heat and add into a large bowl.

Add into the same bowl all the ingredients except of the beef mince and mix well. Then add the beef mince and mix. Form the keftedes into golf size balls and set aside.

Turn on the air-fryer at 200°C, and pre-heat. Then add in 2 batches the keftedes and cook for 20’ while turning/flipping half-way through aiming to get some colour on the keftedes.

Serve with French fries.
