Growing up, my yaya would cook these amazing meatballs (bola-bola) swimming in sweet and sour sauce. Sometimes she would do bola-bola miswa, a.k.a. Almondigas, which was also one of my all time favorite dishes made by our yaya of 34 years (well, 31 years for me).

I was getting kind of tired of the same bola-bola dishes that I decided to concoct my own bola-bola dish that would be my own family's favorite! I tweaked my kabob recipe a little bit and made it into balls, and used beef and pork instead of lamb and came up with this dish. As for the sauce, I wanted a middle eastern taste to it with a mix of greek at the same time... If that makes any sense at all.

The combination of ingredients and cuisines are explosive! I hope you enjoy this one too! (Read On by clicking Read More -->)
