Small Spicy Meabals "Keftedes"

Small Spicy Greek Meatballs  "KEFTEDES"

 

1 lb ground meat (80/20%) or a mixture of beef and lamb

1 egg beaten

1 slice of stale bread soaked in milk and wrung out

¼ cup finely chopped mint

¼ cup finely minced or gated onion

1 garlic clove minced

1 tablespoon dried oregano

½ minced jalopena pepper (optional but this is spice of the Spicy Keftedes)

¼ cup minced parsley

Flour to coat balls

Mix all very well.   

 

Roll into balls the diameter no bigger than a quarter.

 

 

 Roll in flour.  Fry on high heat in a bit of olive oil. The meat will emit more fat. Fry so the outside on all side is brown and crispy.  Drain on paper towels.

 

 

TIPS:

·        Serve with a Zatziki sauce or a spicy tomato sauce.

·        Serve warm or at room temperature

·        I served over Quinoa with vegetable mix.
