Ingredients

1 cup milk
2 pounds ground beef
1 yellow onion, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup finely chopped oregano
2 finely chopped tablespoons mint
2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
2 eggs beaten
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/2 cup olive oil
Flour, for dusting
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pita Bread
Cucumber Yogurt Sauce, recipe follows

Directions
Dunk bread quickly in milk and press the liquid out to dampen the
bread.
Combine the beef, bread, onion, garlic, oregano, mint, vinegar, eggs, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a
bowl and mix well. Take a large spoon of the mixture and roll into a ball until all the mixture has
been rolled.
In a saute pan, add the olive oil and bring it to 360-degrees F for frying. Dust the balls in flour
and add to the oil. Brown on all sides, leaving room in the pan to roll them around. Pull from the
pan and drain on paper towels.
Serve with pita and cucumber yogurt sauce.
