500g minced beef or pork
1 onion chopped
1-2 breadrolls
1 egg
breadcrumbs
salt and pepper
a little milk
herbs to taste
Put the 1-2 bread rolls into a bowl with some milk to cover and leave for half an hour.
Meanwhile put the minced meat into a mixing bowl. Chop the onion very finely and add to the meat mixture.
Season with a little salt and pepper. Crack the egg into a cup (this ensures that egg shell is not included) and add to the mixture. Knead with your fingers (this is where the children can help) or use an electric hand-whisk.
Take the bread rolls from the bowl and squeeze them with your hands to ensure that the moisture is squeezed out. Chop the bread into small pieces.
Add the bread to the meatball mixture and knead again to make sure that everything is thoroughly mixed together. At this stage you can add herbs or chili powder if liked.
Take a spoonful of the meatball mixture and shape it into a ball with your hands. It is up to you regarding the size. For parties I tend to make smaller ones.
Roll the ball into the breadcrumb mixture until well coated.Put the ball onto a plate and flatten slightly with your hands.
Heat some cooking oil and fry till brown
