Baked Soutzoukakia With Jasmine Rice

"Soutzoukakia are Greek style beef meatballs, traditionally spiced with cumin and cinnamon, and simmered in a rich tomato sauce. This version takes a modern twist by baking the meatballs first, allowing them to develop a savory crust before simmering them in a tangy, garlicky tomato sauce. The dish is paired with delicately steamed jasmine rice, whose floral aroma complements the bold Mediterranean flavors. The recipe serves four and takes about an hour from start to finish."
