Recipe Vortex

1 large onion grated

1 lb ground beef or lamb, or veal

1/4 cup parsley fresh, chopped

1/4 cup oregano fresh, chopped

1/4 cup mint fresh, chopped

2 cloves garlic minced

3/4 cup breadcrumbs I used Panko

1 large egg

1/2 tsp salt or to taste

1/2 tsp pepper or to taste

2 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil, for frying

To Serve

Greek Salad

Tzatziki Sauce

pita bread

In a large bowl combine the grated onion, and the rest of the meatball ingredients (excluding olive oil) and mix well.

Form the meatballs into small 1 inch balls.

Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the meatballs and fry until golden all around, about 7 minutes. You will have to do this in 2 batches, so do not overcrowd the meatballs.

Transfer onto a plate and serve either as appetizers or with Greek salad, tzatziki sauce and pita bread as an entree.
