These meatball gyros are juicy, full of flavor and made with pea-based vegan ground “beef.” Vegan ground beef gives off more fat when cooking than regular beef, so developing a crust on the meatballs before finishing them in the oven helps to lock in the moisture and flavor in this Greek Meatballs by Megan Sadd.
