Soutzoukakia is a Greek dish that consists of small, spiced meatballs that are cooked in a tomato-based sauce. The meatballs are typically made from a mixture of ground beef and pork, and they are flavoured with garlic, onion, and other spices. The finished meatballs are then skewered and cooked in a flavorful tomato sauce. Soutzoukakia can be served as an appetiser or main course, and they are often accompanied by rice or mashed potatoes. For those who enjoy traditional Greek cuisine, Soutzoukakia is a must-try dish. This is my Soutzoukakia recipe - a traditional Greek spiced meatballs recipe. This dish is also known in Greece as Smyrna meatballs, Soutzoukakia Smyrneika or İzmir Köfte. That’s because the dish arrived in Greece via immigrants from Smyrna (now called Izmir), in Anatolia, Turkey, which was often referred to as ‘Asia Minor’. This hearty Greek dish provides a fabulous combination of Mediterranean flavours. The cinnamon gives a gentle warmth, but it is the unique savoury note provided by the cumin that makes Soutzoukakia unlike anything else. These flavoursome meatballs cooked in a rich, thick tomato sauce are definitely considered ‘the main event’ for my family’s dinner (served with either rice or mashed potatoes), but they can also be considered a side dish as part of a larger feast.

From Meat-free Monday to a Meatball Wednesday! Everyone loves meatballs and I'm sure these North African Chermoula meatballs will soon become a family favourite. As South Africans, we're familiar with the successful pairing of savoury and sweet. Red meat in particular works really well with apricots, peaches and dried fruits. With this in mind, I've combined a spicy paprika tomato sauce with succulent meatballs and sweet currants. It's earthy, spicy and a complete taste sensation! Chermoula is a North African spice consisting primarily of cumin, coriander, paprika, saffron and cayenne pepper. It's warm rather than fiery hot and can be used quite liberally as a dry rub on meats and for braai (barbecue) kebabs. Locally, you can find Chermoula at Food markets or Woolworths in the spice and condiment section. The rich tomato sauce has 'mopping up' written all over it. Warm Turkish flatbreads would come in very useful here. I serve the meatballs with a nutty, herbed bulgur wheat, but some fluffy mashed potatoes will be very comforting. Adding white breadcrumbs to the meatballs helps to keep them tender and light. If you're Banting, replace the breadcrumbs with almond flour, omit the currants and serve with cauli-rice. A great tasting sauce is a key accompaniment to the success of any meatball recipe and this tomato sauce is that - intensely red and rich. The recipe is quite adaptable so if you prefer, swap the meatballs for fish fillets or chicken pieces, in which case, you'll need to add the Chermoula spice to the sauce. Either way, these meatballs are hearty, rich and very comforting.

This Swedish meatballs recipe makes juicy and flavorful meatballs with a creamy, rich, and crave-worthy sauce. If you prefer, you can serve the meatballs without the gravy. We love serving these with mashed potatoes (or mashed cauliflower), buttered noodles, and roasted vegetables are excellent options. We also highly recommend a spoonful of lingonberry jam. For the gravy, we add a few unconventional ingredients. Soy sauce seasons, mustard adds a little zing, and lemon zest brightens up the flavors of the dish.
