Instructions
- Finely grate the onion, chop the parsley and crush the garlic. Squeeze the grated onion in a tea towel to remove its juice.
- In a bowl, mix the minced meat with the onion, parsley, garlic, spices, salt, pepper and the beaten egg.
- Knead for 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth, then cover and let it rest for 30 minutes in the fridge.
- Shape the mixture into elongated balls around small wooden skewers soaked in water, or into flat patties if you don't have skewers.
- Cook in a hot pan with a drizzle of oil for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or under a high grill, until the outside is golden and the inside is cooked through.
- Serve hot with the bread and the tomato salad.
