Keftedakia

Keftedes, or keftedakia, are Greek meatballs. Small keftedakia are used as appetizers for parties and festivities of every sort. Large keftedes, with pilaf, vegetable, and salad, make a tasty family dinner.

1 pound ground round
1/2 cup grated onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon dried mint
1 or 2 slices white bread
1/2 cup dry white wine or water
1 egg
flour for rolling
vegetable oil for frying

Mix meat, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and mint. Remove crusts from bread slices and moisten in wine or water. Add bread and egg to meat. Knead mixture. Shape into 1-inch balls, dust with flour, and sauté in hot vegetable oil. When meatballs are cooked and browned on all sides, place immediately in covered casserole and keep warm until ready to serve.

Yield 1 1/2 to 2 dozen.
