Kufteta - Bulgarian Pork Patties or Meatballs

*This is best made the night before to increase flavor.

Ingredients:

• 1 medium onion - finely diced
• 2lbs ground pork
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 ½ tsp savory
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 pinches of fresh parsley
• ½ tsp cumin
• water to mix - about a ½ cup
• If you want to fry them, then enough flour to cover them lightly.
• The “fried” amount of oil to fry them in. Lol. Puns.

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, add water to make mixing easier. It is best to mix with hands.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Form patties, dip hands in water before forming each patty. Take a chunk (¼ cup) of the mix and form into ball. Then press flat until they are about a half inch flat.
   
3. If you want to go crazy, make them into small meatball like shapes. This is great for a party.
4. Either fry in olive oil. Or, weather permitting, grill.
5. Fry/grill until cooked through.
