Ingredients:

3 slices of stale bread without the crust
1 kg of minced meat, beef (or veal)
1 tsp of vinegar
1 egg
½ cup of fresh mint, finely chopped, or 1 tablespoon of dried mint

flour
olive oil

Procedure:

  • Finely chop mint
  • Finely slice garlic
  • Soak the bread in water and squeeze lightly.

1.  Combine the meat, vinegar, egg and herbs, and knead well. If you have time, leave the mixture overnight in the fridge so that all the flavours can combine completely.
