Your recipe for "souzoukakia" is very good. This recipe is the original greek recipe.

Very good! Just a few minor changes. I used dried cranberries instead of raisins b/c I had them on hand. Love them! I shaped these into meatballs & cooked them in a frying pan instead of the grill. Then, I let them sit in a low heat oven for about 30 minutes while I got the rest of the food ready. This allowed for more of the fat to drain out, while the meatballs still remained moist & delicious. I will make these again. Thanks!

This was really good. I had to omit the raisins as I am diabetic and they are not good for me but it was tasty anyways. I added cumin for a little more flavor and grilled them on the skewers, but they fell off the skewers so they became long burgers. Oh well, it didn't change the flavor. I also roasted some whole sweet potatoes with the meat and added some steamed dijon broccoli to make a complete meal. I will make this again.

What a great way to change up ground beef. I served it with tzatziki sauce and pita, was a huge hit. Later I thought some sliced Vidalia onions would have make the sandwich perfect. Will make again!

I found this to be a little bland, which is unusual for me since I don't like a huge amount of spices. I really liked the sweetness of the raisins, so I will increase the raisins (which I added whole) and maybe some more spice. Maybe the difference was the fact I didn't have fresh parsley, so I used dried. It was a nice way to use ground beef without having burgers.

Use a high-quality meat--the ground beef I used was a bit on the tough side. I would mince up the onion before adding, versus chopping. I tried making burgers out of these, but I think they would work better as skewers as the recipe calls for. Good flavor, though. I would try again with some tzatziki sauce.

This is very good. I always use ground turkey. Also, I highly recommend that you mix this up ahead of time, preferably the day before, so that the flavors of the spices have time to permeate the meat. It makes a huge difference! I serve this with pita, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, garlic sauce, and tzaziki sauce. Favorite sides are tabbouli and hummus. Yummy!

what a unique flavour! The only thing that I would make sure of for next time is to chop the onions fine! No big chunks. I formed my meat mixture into patties and did them on the foreman grill, did not add the sugar and also I didn't have raisins so I added chopped dates! I will definately make these again.

I thought this was delicious. I didn't have coriander powder, but it still tasted great. I also made it into patties, but next time I might try meatballs. It was tasty with rice.

I LOVED THIS RECIPE. I MADE THE MEAT INTO BURGERS AND SERVED THEM ON PITA BREAD. MY HUSBAND SAID WE SHOULD ALWAYS MAKE OUR BURGERS THAT WAY. DELICIOUS!

My husband and I both enjoyed the different flavor of this meat very much. My children weren't thrilled. The only thing my husband and I were trying to figure out was a good way to serve this. It actually might be good in a pita with some sort of sauce, but it needs something tangy, since the meat is very mild. Anyway, we'll be making this again, it was fun to find a new use for ground beef.

It was alright. The flavor was nice and I enjoyed the sweetness. I might make it again someday. I didn't see the point of the kabob sticks so I cooked them as hamburger patties. I will probably not be making this again.

Wonderful mix of flavours. Reminds me on the oriental cuisine where a broad range of spices is used to create a really unique and typical flavour. Fantastic dish! Thanks!

Interesting texture, but it definitely needs some type of sauce--way too dry for my taste!. We added a little Italian dressing (along with lettuce and tomatoes)and served it in whole wheat pitas.

Great for something different than the usual hamburger. will definitely add this to the regular rotation. I served it with the "Orzo and Parmesan with Basil" recipe from this site and they went very well together. While we skipped the bun we did use ketchup but would have preferred a different type of gravy or sauce to better enhance the flavors in the meat. I'm not sure what else to try but to me it definitely needs something or else it would be kind of dry. Would welcome any suggestions! Thanks allrecipes for sending this one out in the daily dish. I would never have found it otherwise!
