Steps:
- Preheat grill for high heat.
- In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, onion, raisins, and parsley. Season with cayenne pepper, cinnamon, coriander, nutmeg, sugar, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Form into 6 flat sausages around skewers. Lightly brush sausages with oil; this prevents sticking to the grill.
- Arrange skewers on hot grill grate. Cook for approximately 15 minutes, turning occasionally to brown evenly, until well done.

Steps:
- Soak the bread in the wine for about 5 minutes, or until thoroughly softened.
- Then, squeeze out and reserve the excess wine.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground meat with the wine soaked bread, onion, garlic, egg, parsley, grated cheese, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix the ingredients until thoroughly blended.
- Cover and chill for 1 to 2 hours.
- Dampen your hands, pinch off small portions of meat mixture, about the quantity of a teaspoon or just over, and shape into approximately 20 oval rolls (looks sort of like an elongated, slightly flattened, meatball).
- Dredge them in flour.
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan.
- Add the meatballs and fry until browned all over, turning occasionally and allowing time for the meat to cook thoroughly. (alternatively, if you want a 'lighter' recipe, you could just brown in a non-stick pan or bake them in the oven - not as flavourful, but still good).
- Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Strain the oil you fried the meatballs in through a fine sieve into a cooking pan.
- Add all the sauce ingredients, and the reserved wine.
- Bring to a boil and simmer until the sauce is thick.
- Drop in the meatballs, stir to cover all over with the sauce, and simmer covered for 15 minutes.
- Serve hot with rice, french fries, or mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, place the toasted bread and cover with milk (or water) to soak. When bread is soft and well-soaked, squeeze the liquid out completely and discard remaining milk if any.
- Transfer the bread to a large mixing bowl. Add round beef and remaining meatball ingredients. Knead well until well-combined. Cover the meat mixture and rest in the fridge for now.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- While oven is heating, prepare the sauce. In a sauce pan or large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add onions and cook for 3 minutes or so. Add garlic and cook for another minute, stirring regularly. Now add red wine and cook to reduce by about 1/2, then add tomato sauce, bay leaf and remaining sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Prepare a large baking dish and lightly oil the bottom with extra virgin olive oil.
- Take the meat mixture out of the fridge. Wet your hands and scoop portions of about 2 1/2 tbsp of the meat mixture and form into large elongated meatballs (football-shaped.) You should have 15 to 16 meatballs or so. Arrange meatballs in the papered baking dish and top with the sauce (be sure to have removed the bay leaf from the sauce.)
- Place the baking dish on the middle rack of your heated oven. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the meatballs are well cooked through (check part-way through to make sure sauce is not dry, and if needed, add a little bit of water to the bottom of the baking dish.)
- Remove from oven and add another drizzle of EVOO. Garnish with parsley and serve over rice or orzo.

Steps:
- Puree the onion together with 2 tbsp olive oil in a foodprocessor.
- Heat the remaining olive oil and sauté the onion for a few minutes and then add all the spices and stir to get out their fragrances. Add the tomatoes and water, bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the sauce is thick.
- Meantime, soak the bread together with the wine, lemon juice and 2 tbsp olive oil.
- Squeeze the bread and use the fluid to puree the garlic in afood processor. Then add the bread in the food processor and mix.
- Put the ground meat in a bowl with all the spices and bread.Mix well and let it rest for about ½ to 1 hour in the refrigerator for the flavours to mix.
- Shape the meatballs into oblong small sausages, around 8 cm (3 inches) long. Heat about an inch of olive oil in a skillet and fry them just until lightly golden brown on both sides. Remove them directly into the sauce.
- Bring the sauce to boil, lower heat and simmer for aboutanother 20 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Soutzoukakia in the air fryer: I used the option for drumsticks. This function is for 20 minutes at 180oC / 350oF. I set the timer at 10 minutes in order to check how they were doing and at 10 minutes they were perfect. Check the post for more details.

Steps:
- To make the meatballs, put all the ingredients, except the olive oil, in a large bowl and mix. With wet hands, shape the mixture into 20 to 24 rugby-ball shapes.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat and fry the meatballs until golden-brown on all sides, or grill on a griddle pan if you like grill lines on the patties.

Add the red wine and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium. Add the tomato purée, passata, salt and pepper and cook until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes.
- Add the meatballs and simmer for 20-30 minutes covered until cooked through, adding a little water if the sauce is too thick. Serve with rice and green olives.

Steps:
- Meatballs
- To prepare the Soutzoukakia meatballs start by chopping the onions finely.
- In a food processor add the French toast and the bread and process them until a near powder consistency is reached.
- In a bowl add the mince meat, egg, spices, onion, garlic along with the ground bread and French toast.
- Knead the meat long enough so that all the ingredients are incorporated.
- Shape the meatballs into cylindrical shapes, ie sausage shape.
- Set them aside; you can set them aside for as long as you wish. If you are in a rush you can let them rest for approximately 10 minutes. I prefer to make them early in the day and chill them in the fridge for a couple of hours. I find that the mince absorbs the rest of the ingredients better and thus tastes nicer.
- Heat oil in a pan and lightly fry them. Make sure you fry them on both sides.
- Do not add many meatballs in a pan as this will not allow them to fry easily.
- Set them aside in an oven dish.
- Tomato Sauce
- Add onions, garlic and the spices in a pan.
- Sautee them for approzimately 3 minutes on medium heat.
- Add tomato paste and stir for approximately 1 minute.
- Add the canned or fresh chopped tomato along with the pinch of sugar. Stir them for approximately 3 minutes.
- Add water, lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes until it thickens.
- Baking
- Preheat the oven to 180-200C or 356-392F.
- Add the sauce to oven dish, the one you had placed the meatballs and bake for 25 minutes.
- Alternative cooking option
- You can add the pan fried meatballs straight into the sause pan. Let them simmer for 10 minutes approximately with the tomato sauce.

- To prepare the soutzoukakia, knead all meatball ingredients together and leave the mixture in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Once done, portion your meatballs and shape them into oblong meatballs about 70g/2.4oz in size. You can shallow fry gently in oil till golden brown or for a lighter dish, bake the soutzoukakia in the oven at 200C/390F till golden brown.
- While your Soutzoukakia are baking, its time to prepare the tomato sauce. Start by sauté the onion in olive oil on medium heat until translucent. Stir in the tomato paste, cumin and a bit of salt and pepper and fry for 2 minutes. Add the squashed garlic and fry for 3-4 minutes until the garlic has cooked and its aromas coming through. Finally add the wine, the tomato juice or your tinned chopped tomatoes, sugar and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil, turn the heat down to low and simmer until the Soutzoukakia sauce starts to thicken.
- Its now time to bring your Soutzoukakia together! Gently place the fried/ baked soutzoukakia in the tomato sauce and stir gently, being careful not to break them. Cover your pan with a lid and let them simmer on low heat for 30 minutes so the meatballs absorb all the wonderful flavours from the tomato sauce. While they are cooking give them a taste and add salt and pepper to your taste.

- Prepare the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan and sauté the onion over medium heat until soft. Add the garlic and stir. Add the wine. Squeeze the tomatoes by hand into the pot and pour in their juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper, add sugar, reduce heat to low, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the pepper flakes and butter. Set the sauce aside until ready to use. It may be prepared a day ahead of time.
- Make the soutzoukakia: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, spices, salt, and pepper. Mix. Add the egg and wine and knead well to combine. Add breadcrumbs judiciously, just enough to give body to the mixture so that the soutzoukakia hold their shape when formed but not too thick so as to be stodgy. Mix in the olive oil. Cover and refrigerate the mixture for 30 to 60 minutes to firm up.

- In the meantime, put the olive oil in a saucepan and when it’s warm, add the tomatoes and the rest of the wine. Cook slowly for 5 minutes, stirring and ensure it does not stick.
- Add the Soutzoukakia as they come out of the frying pan, covering them with tomato sauce, add a little more water if needed, cover and cook slowly for 10 minutes.

- Mix all the ingredients for the meatballs and let them covered in the fridge for at least 2 hours ideally overnight. The more the mix stays in the fridge the better the result will be as the mince will absorb all those incredible flavors. When the mix is ready, shape it like small sausages about 5-8cm (2-3in) long. Add a non-stick pan to high heat and grill them without any oil. The original recipe requires them to be fried in oil but as the meat has its own fat I like them grilled for a better, lighter, and healthier version. If you would like to fry them though then you can definitely do. Don't completely cook them. Just give them a nice color and remove them as they will be cooked for a while in the sauce too.
- In the meantime, add a pot to high heat with olive oil and add the chopped onion and garlic. Brown them for a few minutes and then add the passata with all the spices and the hot water and let it cook in medium heat until it thickens a bit. Finally, add the meatballs and let them cook for 10-15 more minutes in low heat or until ready. The sauce will thicken a lot and cover the meatballs nicely. When ready serve them with some fluffy rice or pilaf rice or mashed potatoes.
