Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup grated cucumber, squeezed dry
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive oil

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat a smoker to 250°F. Combine the Greek yogurt, squeezed cucumber, lemon juice, dill, and olive oil in a small bowl. Stir until smooth, cover, and refrigerate while you prepare the meatloaf.
  • In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef, egg, almond flour, feta, olives, red onion, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stop mixing as soon as the ingredients are evenly distributed to help keep the meatloaf tender.
  • Shape the mixture into a compact loaf about 7 inches long. Set it on a smoker-safe tray or directly on a clean smoker rack.
  • Smoke until the center reaches 160°F on an instant-read thermometer, checking the temperature in the thickest part of the loaf.
  • Rest the meatloaf for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with the chilled tzatziki.

Squeeze the grated cucumber well so the tzatziki stays thick, and chop the olives finely to spread their briny flavor through each slice. If the feta and olives taste especially salty, reduce the kosher salt slightly.
