Combine the melted butter, tomatoes, sugar, salt & pepper, 1 clove of
garlic, wine, and bay leaf in a saucepan. Simmer for 30 minutes, then
strain through a fine sieve or food mill. Meanwhile, combine the remaining
ingredients in a large bowl and knead thoroughly. (The mixture should not
be stiff.) Pinch off pieces a little larger than a walnut and shape with
the hands into elongated egg shapes about 1 x 3 inches. Fry them lightly on
all sides in hot oil and then drain on paper towels, or arrange them on a
baking dish and bake in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes, turning once.
Drop the soutzoukia in sauce and simmer for 15 minutes. Serve with a
steaming grain dish and fresh, cooked vegetables or salad.
