- I'd say this is probably the top "mommy food" recipe there is in the Greek kitchen. My kids pop these keftedes like candy whenever I make them.
Ingredients:
1 ½ lbs. ground beef or combination of ground beef lamb and/or pork
2 large red onions grated or minced (about 2 cups)
1 large tomato grated on a coarse grater*
¾ to 1 cup milk
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons ground DRIED Greek mint
¼-1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs as needed
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour for dredging
Olive oil for frying
Instructions:

dear I'll try adding tomatoes next time..
but I would soak the breadcrumbs with milk drops and sieve the extra by squeezing the wet crumbs BEFORE I even touch the meat. Then I'd add that squishy white thing to mix it with the meat. That way I could keep the consistency of the meatball no matter what. It's also possible to use carbonated water instead give the meatballs some volume, instead of softness, so to walk garlicky tomato sauce over them. yum yum.
All great tips! Thank you!

Bravo.
What oil do we use to fry them Diane..?
She uses olive oil, but I wouldn't use EVOO it smokes. Use plain olive oil, Trader Joe sells one which is good for cooking veggies too.
