3 thick slices bread, crust removed

3 garlic cloves, pressed

2 tsp salt

1 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp pepper

步骤

Make the meatballs

Soak the bread slices, crust removed, for 5 minutes.

Once the bread is soaked, mix with the ground beef, pressed garlic, salt, cumin, pepper and egg. Knead well to combine the mixture. Let sit for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, scoop 2 tablespoons at a time and form into ovals / logs, about 2-3 inches in length.

Once all meatballs are made, heat 1 tbsp oil in a medium-large skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, sear 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove all the meatballs to a paper towel lined plate.

Make the tomato sauce

Once the meatballs are removed, add tomatoes, sugar, salt and water - cook for 10 minutes on medium-low, keeping at a low simmer.

Add the wine and let it cook for 2-3 minutes.

Put the meatballs back in the pan and simmer with the sauce for 10 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through.

Serve with rice, mashed potatoes or one of our delicious Greek salads (see below for serving ideas).
