Yuvarlakia, or giouvarlakia (
Greek: γιουβαρλάκια, [1]), is a
Greek dish consisting of balls of ground meat, rice, and seasonings, cooked in a pot,[2] in water or meat broth.[3] The mixture is similar to that used for making
sarma.[4][5] They may be served in
tomato or
avgolemonosauce.[1] Depending on the thickness of the sauce, it may be considered a soup or a stew.[6]
