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.
