Youvetsi, a traditional Greek dish made of lamb or beef, orzo pasta, and tomato sauce, became a cherished staple in my childhood. Resembling a casserole, it was often made by my parents who immigrated from Greece, allowing my sister and me to connect with our culture. Prepared quickly, in around 30 minutes, youvetsi became a weeknight favorite in our household, often bringing a sense of comfort and nostalgia every time the orzo was present on our kitchen island, signaling it was youvetsi night.
My dad always made youvetsi when I was a kid - it was a weeknight staple at our house.
This hearty and comforting dish, traditionally made for Sunday family dinners in Greece, was a staple of my childhood.
