Savory soutzoukakia beef mince • lamb mince • grated onion • garlic cloves (crushed) • egg • stale white bread soaked in (red or white) wine until completely soft • chopped parsley • salt, pepper Soutzoukakia (soo-tzoo-kah-kya) are one of my husband's and my favorite Greek dishes (despite the fact that the first time I made them for him, they were terrible because they needed salt like whoa). I haven't made this dish in quite some time, as I tend to think of it as more of a fall or winter meal for some reason. Soutzoukakia are delicious football-shaped meatballs made from a special meat mixture with onions, garlic, fresh herbs, and a unique spice combination, the star of which is cumin! There's not a ton of cumin in the mixture, but its warm and distinctive flavor with bitter, lemony undertones provides a great earthy base here. Place the chickpeas in a bowl with a generous amount of water and add salt.
