Greek Meatballs

When I first tried this family dish years ago, my children and Joris absolutely loved it! I'm delighted to bring it back to the menu. Manestra is a typical Greek dish made with orzo, a rice-shaped pasta. The pasta is cooked al dente in a rich, spiced tomato sauce with a hint of cinnamon. The lamb meatballs (better living 2 stars) are seasoned with fresh oregano, parsley, and dill. You'll also receive a generously filled Greek salad with plenty of fresh vegetables, olives, dressed with a refreshing vinaigrette. Enjoy!
