Roasted Meatballs (Kyufteta)
Kyufteta are Bulgarian roasted meatballs.
½ lb pork, minced (not too fatty)

½ cup crumbled bread (preferably at least a day old)
1 egg
Black pepper, ground
White pepper, ground
1½ tsp dried thyme (or as much fresh as you like)
1 tsp grated nutmeg
Salt
Put all the ingredients in a bowl and knead well.
Form the mixture into balls approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter and flatten them until ½ inch (1.5 cm) thick.
Place the balls in a baking pan spread with a bit of oil or cooking spray and roast at medium or high heat 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Turn the meatballs over and roast another 5 minutes until golden brown on the other side too.

When ready immediately remove from pan and place on kitchen paper to absorb excess fat.
Serve hot with salads, or your favourite sauce. Enjoy!
