Keftedes (Cypriot meatballs)

We all love meatballs! When we were living in Cyprus we were the only children in Avgorou village eating them with ketchup! Our father used to work for the English army in the Naafi store, so he use to bring us a few bottles of ketchup.

In Cyprus, the meatballs are always made with minced pork but in Greece they are made with minced lamb or beef or a mixture. The choice is yours, you can also use minced chicken. In the old days they used to make the meatballs with corned beef.
