Ingredients for 5 servings:

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Finely chop the onions, garlic, and bell peppers. Soak the bread roll in warm water. Squeeze the water out of the softened bread roll and place it in a bowl. Add all the other ingredients and knead well. Using moistened hands, form the meatballs into patties and fry them in a pan until golden brown. These go well with potatoes and bell peppers; I always use leftover bell peppers. You can also use ground chicken, of course. I always use a tablespoon to measure the size of the patties.
