MEATBALL SAUSAGES (SOUTZOUKAKIA SMYRNEIKA)
This is a soulful dish: handmade meatball sausages subtly seasoned with onion, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg and baked in a bubbling tomato sauce. It was originally made by Greeks who lived in Smyrna, which is now Izmir, Turkey. In the early 1920s many of them returned to Greece after the Greco-Turkish war.

Steps:
- For the sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat olive oil and sauté onion until soft. Stir in garlic. Add tomatoes and their juice, squeezing tomatoes to break them up. Bring to a boil. Add wine and sugar, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes. Add pepper flakes and butter, simmer 1 to 2 minutes, and set aside until needed. (Sauce may be cooled, covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Reheat before using.)
- For the sausages: Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, cumin, paprika, allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Knead until blended. Add egg and wine, and knead again until well mixed. Add just enough bread crumbs to give body to mixture so that meatballs will hold their shape when formed. Mix in enough extra-virgin olive oil to make mixture glossy and elastic.
- Shape meat mixture into sausages about 2 1/2 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. Dredge in flour and set aside. Place a heavy skillet over medium heat, and add about 1/2 inch olive oil. When oil shimmers, add sausages in a single layer. Brown on one side, then turn and brown the other. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Lightly oil an 8-by-10-inch shallow casserole, or other baking dish in which sausages will fit in a single layer. Pour sauce evenly on top of meat, and bake until lightly browned on top, about 40 minutes. If desired, serve with mashed potatoes.

- Make the meatballs: Add the garlic cloves to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Remove the leaves from the parsley and add to the food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Peel and quarter the onions and add to the food processor in a few batches and pulse until finely chopped. Add the onion, parsley, and garlic to a large mixing bowl along with all of the remaining meatball ingredients and mix well. Shape the meatballs into balls or sausages and place on a baking tray. Heat some olive oil in a cast-iron skillet and pan-fry the meatballs 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a baking dish.
- Add the olive oil and garlic to a small saucepan. Heat through for a few seconds and immediately add the pureed tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, and sugar. Add the bay leaf and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes or until thickened. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Add the dried oregano.
