3 slices stale bread -- (thick slices) -- crusts removed

1 medium Onion -- finely chopped

1 clove garlic -- finely chopped

3 tablespoons chopped parsley

1 teaspoon chopped mint

1 teaspoon chopped basil

1 medium tomato -- peeled, chopped

1 large egg

1 tablespoon vinegar

1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons flour to coat

2 tablespoons oil for frying

Preparation / Directions:

Serves: 5-6 Cooking time: 8-10 minutes Finely grind veal and pork, leaving some fat on pork. Combine meats. Soak bread in cold water. Squeeze dry and crumble into a mixing bowl. Add onion, garlic, herbs, tomato, egg and vinegar; blend in soda, salt and pepper. Add meat and blend in lightly and thoroughly, using a hand if necessary. Chill for 1 hour. Taking about 2 tablespoons of the mixture at a time, roll into balls. Moisten hands occasionally. Roll balls in flour and flatten into rounds 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter. Shallow fry in hot oil for 4-5 minutes each side. Patties will puff up. Turn carefully with spatula or tongs. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with fried potatoes and vegetables or salad.
