Greek Meatballs in a Greek Tomato Sauce

I am writing this post following a day on the road.  My wife and I went to Southeast Michigan to support our son as he competed in STEELHEAD 70.3 HALF IRONMAN.  Quite an accomplishment.  When my wife and I first met, a lot of our dates were swimming and running.  We did a few triathalons but never one of this distance.

We were both stir crazy and tired haven’t spent that much time in the car.  So the dish I intended to create, will have to wait.  We picked up sushi so I would not have to do any work.  We ate the sushi in like five minutes.

What makes these Greek Meatballs in a Greek Tomato Sauce so good is the taste of the meatballs and the tomato sauce.  One of the components that I like so much about this dish is the GREEK TOMATO SAUCE.   The oregano, cinnamon and allspice add such unique flavors.  The addition of dill is also a great undertone in this sauce. 

These meatballs are packed with great spices and fresh herbs.  I have picked up some pretty cool spices along the way.  In these meatballs, I used Mediterranean Sea Salt and Turkish oregano.  I also used fresh dill and fresh parsley.  Natural ingredients add so much.  These meatballs may look simple but they are packed with flavors and the key to a tasty dish.
