Steps

60 minutes

1

In a big bowl (you will be adding all ingredients in it), soak white bread slices into milk. Once bread has fully absored milk, crumble into tiny pieces.
2

Add ground meat to crumbled and soaked bread pieces. Add egg and all spices. Add minced onion.
3

Mix everything very well. All spices and bread must be absorbed into ground meat. Place mixture in fridge for 30 minutes.
4

After 30 minutes, takes mixture out of fridge. You can wet your hands with water beforehand (so mixture doesn't stick on them). Start forming 2-2.5 inch (5-7cm) in diameter meatballs.
5

Once meatballs are formed. Add oil in a pan and heat it until ready to fry meat. Add meatballs and fry until golden and well cooked inside (about 4 minutes on each side).
6

Serve hot with sides such as potatoes/fries and/or salad. Enjoy!
