Steps

1

Mix the ground beef with all the other ingredients and knead very well.
2

Bake the soutzoukakia on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in the oven for a healthier option, or fry them.
3

While the soutzoukakia are cooking, prepare the sauce.
4

In a pot, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic. Add the wine and spices. Once the wine evaporates, add the tomato sauce and simmer until the sauce thickens. Then add the cooked soutzoukakia to the sauce, let them cook together for 1 minute, and then turn off the heat. Note: If the sauce needs a little water, add as needed.
5

Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, rice pilaf, or pasta. Enjoy!

ΑΘΗΝΑ ΕΛΛΑΔΑ

Είμαι η Νίτσα, σύζυγος και μητέρα μίας κόρης. Είμαι μέλος των Συνταγών της παρέας και τώρα Cookpad από το 2012. Λατρεύω τη μαγειρική και τη ζαχαροπλαστική. Το μυστικό είναι πως ό,τι φτιάχνω (φαγητό, γλυκό) το κάνω με αγάπη.
