Meatballs, instead of chunks of meat, make the stew more interesting and unique. Simmer them with chopped tomatoes, olives, zucchini, and lima beans and serve as a main course with bread for soaking up the delicious juices.

3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.

1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

  • 2 cups lightly salted chicken broth
  • 2 x 400g cans of baked tomatoes with chili peppers

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Combine the chicken broth and tomatoes in a large Dutch oven or saucepan, cover, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, place the onion, olives, mint, oregano, and pumpkin pie spice in a food processor; pulse until very finely chopped. Add half of the onion mixture to the saucepan. Add the bread to the food processor with the remaining onion mixture and pulse until moist crumbs form. Transfer to a large bowl, add the ground beef, and mix with your hands until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Form 20 small meatballs and add to the pot. Cook, stirring once, until firm, about 3 minutes. Gently stir the lima beans and zucchini into the stew; cook until the zucchini is tender, about 5 minutes. Add lemon juice to taste.
