Ingredients
3 slices white bread, crusts removed
1 pound minced beef or lamb
1 large egg
1 large onion, grated
2 cloves crushed garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 small bunch flat leaf parsley, fine chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
mint, chopped
sunflower oil for frying

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