Cooking Directions
-
Moisten the bread pieces with the milk in a large bowl, and set aside.
-
Mince the garlic in a food processor, then add the onion, mint, salt, and pepper. Process until the onion is finely chopped.
-
Add the onion mixture to the bowl with the moist bread, along with the beef, lamb, and eggs. Mix with your hands until thoroughly blended.
-
Roll the mixture into balls measuring 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter.
-
Place the flour in a shallow pan, and roll the balls in the flour to coat. Shake off any excess flour, and place the meatballs onto a plate or baking sheet, pressing to flatten slightly. This will keep them from rolling away.
-
Heat 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs, 8 or 10 at a time, and cook until nicely browned on the outside, and no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
-
Drain meatballs on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining meatballs.
