Recipe Ingredients
Directions
Serves: 5-6 Cooking time: 8-10 minutes
Finely grind veal and pork, leaving some fat on pork.
Combine meats.
Soak bread in cold water. Squeeze dry and crumble
into a mixing bowl. Add onion, garlic, herbs, tomato,
egg and vinegar; blend in soda, salt and pepper. Add
meat and blend in lightly and thoroughly, using a hand
if necessary. Chill for 1 hour.
Taking about 2 tablespoons of the mixture at a time,
roll into balls. Moisten hands occasionally. Roll
balls in flour and flatten into rounds 5 cm (2 inches)
in diameter. Shallow fry in hot oil for 4-5 minutes
each side. Patties will puff up. Turn carefully with
spatula or tongs. Drain on paper towels and serve
immediately with fried potatoes and vegetables or
salad.
