Anybody got an authentic recipe for keftedhes?

Answer 1

My recipe is closest to Zoe's - yes, oval shaped - but no cinamon please
But all the recipes left out the most important ingredient.
My greek mother-in-law always put either a big spash of ouzo in her keftedthes or as an alternative, a half can of beer. She was the greatest cook I ever knew. Today, there is very little to brag about concerning my cooking..... except for my keftedthes!!!!
I had a great teacher!
