KEFTEDES - GREEK MEATBALLS
Here is a fried Greek meatball - Cyprian style. These are made with grated potatoes; a little different than the islands of Greece. Squeeze some lemon on them and have a taste of Cyprus.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Place the lemon juice in a large bowl. Coarsely grate the potatoes into the lemon juice, stirring well to prevent browning. Stir in the ground beef, onion, bread crumbs, parsley, mint, cinnamon, lemon zest, eggs, and salt and pepper. Mix well, and shape into oblong balls about 1 inch thick and 2 inches wide.
- Place meatballs in hot oil in batches; do not crowd. Fry until golden brown, and cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes per batch. Serve with lemon wedges.

KEFTEDAKIA (GREEK MEATBALLS)
These are so tasty! The raw meatball mixture is quite 'loose' and needs a gentle touch, but it will hold together (trust me). In Greece, these are considered top-notch picnic fare. Leftovers make a good second meal (so make more meatballs!) the next day added to a tomato sauce and used to top rice, or mashed potatoes, or pasta, or............Please note there's a minimum of 1 hour refrigeration of the meat mixture prior to frying.

Steps:
- Mix meats, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and mint.
- Remove crusts from bread slices, process into crumbs (I use my mini food processor) and moisten in milk.
- Add bread and egg to meat (you can add a shot glass full of ouzo for flavouring at this point, if you like).
- Knead mixture so that everything is incorporated evenly. This probably means more handling of the meat than you're usually used to, but it's ok in this particular recipe. The milk does not need to be squeezed out of the bread. It will all come together after kneading into a kind of meat paste.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using (I often make this an evening earlier to use the next day).
- Shape into walnut-sized balls, dredge in flour, and saute in hot oil until meatballs are cooked and browned on all sides. (I use olive oil because I have an endless source, but a good vegetable oil, or a combination of vegetable and olive oil would be fine).
- Good hot or at room temperature.
- Note: To freeze (after cooking) Flash freeze separately. When frozen you can pop them into freezer bag.
- Note2: You can also bake these in the oven (you do not need to dredge in flour if you do). They are very good this way, too. Obviously, frying provides a lot of flavour, but sometimes, cutting some calories is also a good thing. ;-).
- To heat: Thaw and use as per directions above.
KEFTEDES: GREEK MEATBALLS
Steps:
- Dunk bread quickly in milk and press the liquid out to dampen the bread.
- Combine the beef, bread, onion, garlic, oregano, mint, vinegar, eggs, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix well. Take a large spoon of the mixture and roll into a ball until all the mixture has been rolled.
- In a saute pan, add the olive oil and bring it to 360-degrees F for frying. Dust the balls in flour and add to the oil. Brown on all sides, leaving room in the pan to roll them around. Pull from the pan and drain on paper towels.
- Serve with pita and cucumber yogurt sauce.
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

Steps:
- Soak the bread in the ouzo for at least 5 minutes.
- Heat half the olive oil in a skillet over moderate heat, add the onions, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are soft but not brown.
- Remove the onions with a slotted spoon, placing them in a large mixing bowl.
- Squeeze the bread dry (discard the ouzo) and add the bread to the onions.
- Add the ground beef, egg, mint, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and knead vigorously with your hands, then beat with a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Shape the beef mixture into balls about the size of walnuts (you may find that wetting your hands with water helps prevent sticking) and then roll the meatballs in the flour to coat evenly.
- Place the meatballs on a cookie sheet and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- Add the remaining olive oil to a large skillet and brown the meatballs, 7 or 8 at a time, over high heat, cooking 8 to 10 minutes and shaking the pan from time to time.
- As each batch is done, remove them with a slotted spoon and place on an ovenproof serving platter.
- Keep them warm in a 200°F (100°C) oven while you finish cooking the rest.
