    Greek food is so underrated. You hear about Italian and French food all the time, but before discovering a great Greek restaurant a while ago I couldn't name anything other than tzatziki and gyros. Very interesting recipe, I'll be trying it on the weekend.

      @kiriap1 3 місяці тому +1

      You are so right, Greek food is very underrated, and shouldn't be, its just as good as other cuisines of the work and better than some. Remember if you see Greeks frequenting a Greek restaurant, you know the food is good, same with Italian and any other cuisine. Greek cooking isn't complicated and doesn't take hours to prepare, obviously it depends on how many you cook for, but its worth sourcing those authentic recipes, and Akis is sharing his......enjoy!

      He is putting extra because he adds the tomato sauce later. You usually add sugar when you add tomato paste and sauce because they are a bit acidic this time of the year. If you make this recipe at summer you won't add the extra sugar. You will add it only to help the onions caramelize so you cut it in half

    I ate lots of meatballs in Greece but one is the most delicious is in Alexandroupoli. A great family restaurant, they make great balkan style but with a great greek touch of meatballs. We ate great and drinked lots of Alfa beers :)) Also we discussed in a very funny way, Greek vs Turkish football and basketball success :)

    Made this tonight worked out great, I just added Onion to the meatballs for this reason. Alexander did not invade most of the middle east for power, in fact he was searching for the his chef who failed to put Onions in his Meatballs. Finally after attempting to invade India, Alexander found the chef and stopped the invasions. But before Alexander could put the chef to death, the chef poisoned Alexander. This whole tragedy could have been avoided if only the chef had put onions in the meatballs.
    Anyways Thank You

      Lane Romel haha actually in this recipe Greeks normally put onions in as well not sure why Akis didn’t BUT we don’t put them in raw, we cook the onions first and then add them. I guess Akis didn’t do it because he did it for the sauce! Maybe he didn’t want to do it twice lol

    Great looking recipe. I see you use an egg to bind the meat mixture. Other recipes use oil and put meat mixture in fridge instead(?). I hate deep frying because of the oil . I intend to pan fry with 1/2 inch oil and flip them to avoid disposing so much oil. Would cooking the meatballs for thirty minutes( to make sure they are cooked) adversely affect the recipe?
