Ingredients


1kg minced (ground) veal
8 tbsp onions, finely chopped
8 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
8 tbsp breadcrumbs
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano, crumbled to a powder
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Method:

Combine the meat, onions, parsley and breadcrumbs in a bow. Knead well to mix and combine then set aside for 45 minutes to infuse. Divide the mixture into between 10 and 12 pieces and shape these into balls.

Flatten these into discs about 1 1/2cm thick and 7cm in diameter. Brush with oil then place on the grill of a hot barbecue. Cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until nicely browned all over and cooked through.

Remove to a serving dish, sprinkle with the oregano powder and serve.
