Yuvarlakia or giouvarlakia (Greek: γιουβαρλάκια[1]) is a Greek dish with a name of Turkish origin (yuvarlak, meaning spherical); it consists 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 avgolemono sauce.[1] Depending on the thickness of the sauce, it may be considered a soup or a stew.[6]
