Greek Spiced Meatballs in Tomato Sauce
These meatballs were the main dish for our little Greek night last week. We ate them with warm pita and feta cheese, and they were delicious. I made a few changes to the original recipe from Fine Cooking magazine, July 2009. I used ground beef instead of lamb, I used bread crumbs from a loaf of french bread, and took a shortcut with the tomato sauce. Instead of making my own sauce and doctoring it, as the magazine instructs, I just used a good quality 28 ounce can of chunky tomato sauce. The meatballs were very tasty, and the sauce was delicious. It was a little thick when I reheated it the next day, so I added a little water and it was perfect.
