Greek meatballs in spiced tomato sauce

Cutlets and meatballs

These comforting pork and beef meatballs are called <em>soutzoukakia</em> and originate from the Greeks of Smyrna (modern-day Izmir in Turkey). You can serve them as part of a meze, perhaps with some warm flatbreads, or for a more substantial main, pair them with some steamed rice and a green salad.
