Preparation:

Place meat in a large mixing bowl. Break in eggs and mix well. Add onion, mint, oregano, parsley, garlic, diluted tomato paste, the 2 tablespoons oil, crackers, wine, salt, and pepper. Knead until well mixed and smooth. On a lightly floured board, shape meat mixture into 12 balls. With your palms, flatten balls into patties, then dust patties lightly with flour. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the remaining oil. Fry patties, turning once, until browned on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side or until done to your liking.
