This recipe is made all around Eastern Europe. It is called Kefte by Greeks and Koftas by Turks, cufte by Croatians and Chiftele (read Kiftele) by Romanians and the principle is the same. This is my mom recipe that I would not change for the world.
Ingredients
- 600 gr ground pork shopping list
- 400 gr ground beef shopping list
- 1 onion diced shopping list
- 2 slices of bread without crust moistened in water shopping list
- 1 large potato shredded small shopping list
- 1 large carrot shredded shopping list
- 2 tbsp diced parsley shopping list
- 2 tbsp diced dill shopping list
- 6 diced garlic cloves shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
- 1/2 cup flour shopping list
- 1 cup oil (I use sunflower or Canola) shopping list
How to make it
- Mix all the above with the exception of flour. The moistened bread adds moisture to the mix and will give you a nice and soft inside texture. Actually, my mom adds 2 tablespoons of water to the whole mix.
- Make little balls with your hands and dust them with flour.
- Fry them in hot oil for 5-7 min on each side.
- Cool them on paper towel.
- You can serve them with a tomato sauce or as is.
