Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 500 g ground beef or lean ground turkey
- 500 g spicy Italian bulk sausage
- ¼ cup golden raisins
- 1 cup fresh bread cubed
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 jar of your favourite prepared tomato sauce
- ½ cup water
- 1 dozen dinner rolls split
- toppings of your choice: cheese, onion, chopped veges, etc...
Cilantro-Mint Yoghurt
- ⅔ cup plain Greek-style yogh
- ⅓ fresh jalapeno stemmed, seeded and minced
- 3 Tbsp fresh mint leaves
- 3 Tbsp fresh cilantro/coriander leaves
- 1½ Tbsp honey
- ⅓ tsp ground cumin
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine beef or turkey, sausage, raisins, cubed bread, and eggs. Let sit for a few minutes so the bread soaks up the egg.
- Using your hands, form 12 meatballs. Adjust size to fit inside dinner rolls after they are fried.
- Add oil to cover the bottom of a large heavy pot and turn heat to medium-high. Add meatballs as space allows (don't crowd them) and turn them often to brown all sides. Remove meatballs from the pot after they brown and place on a paper towel.
- After all the meatballs have been browned, return to the pot, add tomato sauce and water, cover with a lid, and let cook over medium-high heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sauce from scorching.
- Make the Cilantro-Mint Yoghurt by combining all ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Add salt to taste.
