Directions

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 to 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.
