Greek Spaghetti & meat Sauce: Macaronia me Kima

[@DonPandemoniac]

In the right amount, cinnamon does go really well with meat! This looks great, nice and simple but full of flavor.

[@amijoon3770]

OMG!!! I love this chef!!! One night at an ex's sister's house in Greece she made spaghetti for dinner. When i had one bite i was amazed at this different flavour which she said was cinnamon!!! What??!!! Since then i have craved this sauce so much. Thanks to Dimitra i can make it here at home in Canada. Thanks so much Dimitra 💖💖💖

[@ninahannum1894]

This looks so good! This is how we do our meat sauce too, and we also add a little Allspice. Yummy!

[@DimitrasDishes]

It's so good!

[@staceymckinnon695]

I add allspice too

[@susanb5058]

Yes my Dad added allspice and cloves too.

[@vyvoomvoom9641]

My husband will Love this!!! Ty again!!!

[@nomnomnom3678]

Delicious and well explained. Love the cinnamon tip!

[@staceymckinnon695]

This is my favorite Greek dish. I would love to see you make papoutsakia, Greek little shoes!

[@toin9898]

I loooooove Kima. I usually slow braise it in the oven for an hour or two to make it extra tender as my Yiayia-in law usually leaves it simmering on the stovetop for a long time when she makes it.

[@DimitrasDishes]

That's a great tip! Thank you :)

[@helenwong1214]

This Mediterranean Spaghetti Bolognese is definitely a family favourite, can't wait till I make this for family dinner !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tscarletespin2261]

[@susanb5058]

Hey Dimitra! My Dad used to make this dish (a little bit different) but i remember the first time I had it, because we’re Italian and it was such a different taste but oh my gosh Greek spaghetti is soooo incredibly delicious!! Thanks for reminding me I need to make some!! 🍝

[@SuzanneBaruch]

Recipe idea: have you ever heard of a regional Greek American dish known as Cincinnati Chili? It's absolutely amazing! (Although there's a long running dispute whether it was first made by a Greek man or a Lebanese man, both of whom had restaurants in Ohio.) I'd be happy to share my recipe with you so you can "tweak" it, if you think it needs that! My family literally *begs* me to make this regularly. (I've even made it using Beyond Beef, for my vegan sister.)

[@sunset6010]

Post it here now please ❤️

[@SuzanneBaruch]

@@sunset6010 if Dimitra says it's ok, I sure will!

[@nikokatos]

The man who came over here and created it was from the Florina region of Greece. the sauce is similar but has a Slavic Balkan influence as the people from the Florina region are Slavic speaking and culturally Bulgarian influenced hence that at the time the guy did not identify as Greek or Lebanese but as Macedonian which among Greeks of course is controversial.

[@SuzanneBaruch]

@@nikokatos I agree the inventor was most likely Greek, but as I wrote, a Lebanese man also claims he invented it. I wasn't suggesting it was one man who was either Greek or Lebanese -- I'm saying that two men both claim it. The only ingredient that seems to disqualify a Greek connection is the traditional inclusion of chocolate in the "chili," which isn't really chili at all. All I can say with certainty is that, whoever invented it was a genius, because it's one of the most "craveable" dishes I've ever eaten!

[@susanb5058]

Another vegan option is lentils, its awesome!

[@ingimundurgesturaxelsson802]

This is so good.

[@sinepari9160]

Wow, that's just like the meat sauce my grandmother would make..mmmm.

[@sabinetsamtsukakis4031]

Γεια, στα Χέρια σου....Yummi🤗💖🥳

[@bigkahona8444]

Im from kuwait and this is how we make it! I like it way better than the italian way

[@phunkymonkiee]

In Indian cooking, "kheema" is a sauce made with mince (ground) meat. Similar concept.

[@demi9826]

It is a Turkish word in the end

[@PMMichael]

We made this and added feta, hello heaven ❤

[@betsy3473]

Making this ASAP 😍

[@DimitrasDishes]

Kali Orexi!

[@betsy3473]

@@DimitrasDishesI made this tonight and it was so delicious! My new go to recipe for spaghetti night!!! Thank you ❤

[@moonrakor2000]

Works well with Grated Halloumi cheese being a "GREEK" dish. Greeks have been cooking Spaghetti with mince for over 2 millenia. 🎉

[@jessicarubio4205]

Hello, I have a question yesterday when I made blaklava, it was very wet and I followed the recipe and used it in the same mold that you used in your recipe. I don't know what happened .thank you 😊

[@valient71]

Cincinnati chili!

[@Hummingbird777]

This reminds me of my Mom! 💧. She’s changed her address to Heaven 21 years ago. 😔. I make this now.

[@garygolden5262]

No wine into it?

[@alexantoniu5004]

How about a little bit of red wine ?

[@marystar6021]

Which cheese would be the closest to mizithra?

[@DimitrasDishes]

Ricotta salata with a little feta I it :)

[@Whitemike0413]

This is where Cincinnati Chili came from.

[@dinok3166]

Add some allspice and cocoa powder
