Bulgarian Keftedes or Kufteh (Bulgarian Burgers)

These will be on every Bulgarian village table & in every Bulgarian restaurant these will be on the menu. Most will have Cumin added but for me I prefer them without.
So, its a battle between Burgers & Keftedes. I prefer Burgers but love to be able to cook the Bulgarian version for my friends, they appreciate the effort I go to, to learn traditional village cooking. I do really like the moistness of these too. These are good Keftedes,  pleasing both us & our Bulgarian family.
I have made large keftedes in this photo but they can be halved or even halved again. So 1 Keftede can actually make 2 -4 depending on your appetite & taste.
Keftedes are found in many countries, here is my recipe.......

500g Minced Mutton

1 Slice of Bread

1 Egg

1 Onion, chopped sml

Milk

1 Clove of Garlic, crushed & chopped

1/2 tsp paprika

Salt & Pepper

Fry light  or Vegetable oil

Soften the bread in some milk, then squeeze it out.

Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, use your hands. Form into balls then flatten.

Spray with fry light or brush with oil & on a very hot griddle cook for 5 mins or so on each side

The Bulgarians serve these with baked rice, but I serve them with Pasta with a tomato, basil & chilli sauce.

Enjoy........
