Albanian Kofta

Grate the onion on a fine grater or chop very finely, mince the garlic, and chop the parsley.

In a bowl, combine the pork-beef mince, onion, garlic, eggs, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, black pepper, paprika and oregano.

Knead the mixture thoroughly for 3–4 minutes until it becomes firm and holds its shape.

Cover the bowl and leave the mince to rest for 10–15 minutes so the breadcrumbs absorb the moisture.

Shape into small oval patties or short sausages of equal size.

Heat oil in a frying pan and cook the kofta over medium heat for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Serve hot with salad, yogurt sauce, flatbread or a potato side dish.
