Mediterranean dish is authentically Greek

Published



As a family we ate together — we gathered around the dining room table, and enjoyed each other’s company and the delicious home-cooked meals my mother prepared. I feel fortunate to have carried on this wonderful family tradition.

Happily, the tradition for many to gather together as a family for dinner and other meals has returned no matter the schedules of their daily lives. I’d be hard-pressed to think of a more appetizing recipe to lure family members to the table than my Mediterranean meatballs with tomato sauce and couscous. Most everybody loves meatballs, even kids. This dish has every featureI’m looking for when it comes to a complete and satisfying meal; it’s nutritious, colorful, balanced, and packed with flavors and textures. To pull the bounty of flavors together, the combination gets a dollop of (in this order) Greek-style yogurt, Greek olives and feta cheese.
