Keftedakia (Small Meatballs)


The classic Greek meatballs are called Keftedes and Keftedakia are a smaller version of them (akia at the end of a word in Greek means "small" in the plural). They can be eaten as a snack, as a meze with ouzo and/or beer or just as part of a buffet meal. Children love these! And they are easy and quick to prepare!

Ingredients

1kg minced beef
1 large onion very finely chopped
Bunch of chopped parsley
A few leaves chopped mint
2 slices dry, white bread soaked in milk and well drained
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 whole egg
1 cup plain flour
1 ½ cup vegetable oil for frying
Salt & pepper to taste

Preparation

Apart from the flour and the vegetable oil, mix all the other ingredients together well.
Roll the mixture into small balls approx. the size of large walnuts.
Roll the balls in flour and then deep fry them for 15 minutes.
