Soak 2 slices bread in 230 ml water then remove and gently squeeze to remove the excess liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread, 2 medium eggs, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 2 small onions and 1 kg ground lamb , 1 kg ground beef , 120 g flour and mix well till properly combined.
Taking an egg size amount of the mixture at a time, shape into small round patties or finger like shapes.
Lightly press the köfte in flour and fry on medium heat in 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil for 4 or 5 minutes, till golden brown.
Notes
Fry the meatballs in butter for an amazing flavour, adding a bit of olive oil so that the butter does not burn.
They can also be grilled or barbecued, and are great with a salad, bread and a serving of plain yogurt.
