Soutzoukakia is a traditional recipe of spiced meatballs baked in a luscious tomato sauce! Their name is a bit hard to pronounce if you’re not Greek, but don’t let that discourage you from giving them a try. I’ve seen Soutzoukakia served as a side-dish, but in my family, it’s either rice or mashed potatoes! đ

Add the beef mince, onion, garlic, olive oil, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and cumin in a bowl and mix until combined.
Shape the mixture in long âsausage-shapedâ meatballs and refrigirate for 15-20 minutes so they can get firm.
Add vegetable oil in a nonstick pan (enough to cover the entire surface) and fry them in medium heat, (approx. 5 minutes).
Once they are cooked on all sides, add the red wine, let them simmer until it evaporates and set them aside.
Tomato Sauce: On the same pan add the olive oil, onion and garlic, and sauté them in medium heat (approx 3-4 minutes).
Add the tomato sauce, the fresh tomato, cinnamon, salt, cumin and water and simmer for 10 minutes in low heat.
