KEFTEDAKIA (GREEK MEATBALLS)

1 pound ground beef*
1/2 cup grated onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried mint
salt and pepper to taste
1 or 2 slices white bread from sourdough or Italian-style dense loaf
1/2 cup dry white wine or water
1 egg
flour for rolling
vegetable oil for frying

Mix meat, onion, garlic, oregano, mint salt, and pepper.

Remove crusts from bread slices and moisten in wine or water. Add bread and egg to meat. Knead mixture.

Shape into 1-inch balls, roll in flour, and saute in hot vegetable oil. Remove when meatballs are cooked and browned on all sides.

Good hot or at room temperature.

*NOTE: I used ground turkey instead of beef and loved it!

Yield: 1 1/2 to 2 dozen
