Original recipe (1X) yields 15 servings

  • 1 smoked turkey leg

  • 3 links hot beef link sausage, diced

  • ¼ cup finely chopped onion

Margaret's Keftedes (Greek Meatballs)

This is my yia yia's recipe--a family favorite straight from the village of Kyparissia. Serve as an appetizer or with tzatziki, Greek salata, and pita or pasta for a full meal. They taste best served at room temp and make for wonderful leftovers. If you don't care for lamb, try using all beef instead.

Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup

Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup

This hearty sweet and sour cabbage soup is my version of an old favorite Ashkenazi Jewish recipe. I make a stock first, then make the soup. This allows for de-fatting the soup, but you need to make this on two days, so time accordingly. Using savoy cabbage gives the soup superlative texture and flavor.
