Makalo With Keftedakia

Makalo is a Macedonian gravy. You’ll find in the kitchens of northern Greeks’ home in Florina and Kastoria and I’ve read, as far south as Karditsa in Thessaly.

Makalo is basically a gravy. You have oil, (stock), spices and seasonings. My mom would often add a bit of tomato (that was our family’s twist).

It’s a sauce I remember my parents, aunts and uncles always ate. It’s a gravy made for dipping, poaching eggs or simmering  keftedes or chicken.
