Cocktail Meatballs

Keftedes, or keftedakia, are Greek meatballs. Small keftedakia are used as appetizers for parties and festivities of every sort. Since they are equally good at room temperature, they are a fine picnic dish. Large keftedes, with pilaf, vegetable, and salad, make a tasty family dinner.

1 tablespoon minced garlic

Mix meat, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and mint. Remove crusts from bread slices and moisten in wine or water. Add bread and egg to meat. Knead mixture. Shape into 1-inch balls, dust with flour, and sauté in hot vegetable oil. When meatballs are cooked and browned on all sides, place immediately in covered casserole and keep warm until ready to serve.
