Greek ~Keftedakia

Keftedakia
(Our loose translation: meatballs for the gods!)

1/2 lb. ground beef 1/2 lb. ground lamb 1/2 lb. ground pork
1 onion, chopped fine
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup fine bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
4 tbsp. fresh mint, chopped fine
1/2 tsp. oregano
salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
flour
3 tbsp. olive oil

Combine meat, onion, garlic, bread crumbs, egg, mint, oregano, salt and pepper in bowl. Mix well. Shape into 1 inch balls. Dust lightly with flour. Fry in olive oil until evenly brown. Serve with toothpicks for party finger food, or with Tzatziki and bread as an appetizer.
To serve as a main course, form meatballs into large oval sausage-shapes on skewers. Grill on medium heat until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Serve on a bed of shredded lettuce, with tomato salsa and thinly sliced onion.
