LAZY MAN'S SOUTZOUKAKIA ( A GREEK STYLE BOLOGNESE)
I love soutzoukakia, which are Greek meatballs heavy in red wine, garlic and cumin cooked in a red sauce. But sometimes on a busy weeknight, I just don't have the time. I came up with this recipe to satisfy my cravings when time is short. I use a store bought sauce cause of time, but feel free to substitute your own sauce recipe.
