Description

Aromatic, oval beef meatballs spiced with cumin and garlic, simmered in rich red tomato sauce with cinnamon and Oriental herbs for authentic Smyrna taste.

Rich and Juicy

The sauce slowly blends with Eastern spices, delivering tender texture and deep flavor in every bite.

Ideal Main Dish

Serve hot with rice or potatoes, bringing Asia Minor tradition to your everyday table.

Tommy's Tips

  • Knead with cold mince: Use fridge-cold mince and work quickly to keep them juicy and bind spices well.

  • Sauce with wine: Add 1 glass red wine to tomato before simmering for deep, sweet note.

  • Don’t turn often: Lightly sauté then slow cook covered – avoid stirring to hold shape.

  • Whole cinnamon: Use cinnamon stick instead of powder for mild, aromatic flavor without bitterness.

  • Rest 5 minutes: Let sit in sauce off heat before serving for perfect moisture and flavor distribution.

Cooking Tips

These soutzoukakia with sauce pair with traditional Greek sides that highlight their Oriental spices and rich sauce.

With Mashed Potatoes

Serve over smooth mashed potatoes – the creamy texture perfectly complements the juicy sauce.

With Pilaf Rice
