Total Time:

Ingredients:

2 to 3 slices white bread, crusts removed
1 lb. beef or lamb, minced
1 lg. egg
1 lg. onion, grated
1 to 2 clove garlic, crushed
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. ground cumin
Salt and pepper
1 bunch (sm.) flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp. dried oregano
2 to 3 sprigs mint, chopped
Sunflower oil, for frying
Flour, to coat

Directions:

Soak the bread in water and squeeze it dry. Mix all the ingredients together and work together with your hands for about 5 minutes until it has a soft, dough-like consistency. With wet hands, form the mixture into walnut sized balls then flatten them slightly. Flour the keftedes twice, so as to get a good crust. Heat the oil in a large frying pan until it sizzles. Fry the keftedes for 5-6 minutes, do not overcrowd the pan. Turn them once so they are crisp and brown. Drain and serve hot.

Comments from Lisa Feinson :

Great finger food! For parties these are made very small and by the ton!!!! You can bake them too in a medium hot oven. Just spray with Pam or something like that and bake until well browned.
