About Soutzoukakia
Soutzoukakia are flavorful, spiced meatballs originating from Smyrna, a city in modern-day Turkey, brought to Greece by refugees in the early 20th century. This beloved dish consists of ground beef or a mix of beef and pork, seasoned with garlic, cumin, and cinnamon, shaped into oval-like patties and simmered in a rich tomato sauce. Often served with rice or mashed potatoes, Soutzoukakia combines aromatic spices with hearty, satisfying protein, making it a staple in Greek cuisine. From a nutrition perspective, Soutzoukakia offers a good source of protein and iron, contributing to muscle growth and energy levels. However, the dish can be calorie-dense, especially if prepared with higher-fat meat or served with starchy sides. Opting for lean ground meat and pairing it with nutrient-rich vegetables or a salad can enhance its health value while preserving its authentic flavors.
