This recipe was inspired by Akis Petretzikis. Greek rice meatballs are cooked in yogurt sauce while Iraqi rice meatballs are cooked in tomato sauce! However, the Greek method is very delicious too and my family loved it very much and I am sure you will love it as well. Thanks to chef Akis for sharing this delicious recipe.
