Bowl

Mince garlic, chop onion, chop parsley and mint.

Mix thawed ground beef, eggs, olive oil, garlic, onion, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, parsley and mint together. Mix thoroughly until you create a dough like substance. Cover bowl with plastic.

Refrigerate for 1 hour to let the flavors really mix together. Pre-heat oven to 400 degreed Fahrenheit

Create small balls with your hands out of the dough. Line them up in a baking sheet. I prefer using parchment paper on the baking sheet.

Serve with salad and your side of choice. Garnish with additional mint leaves if desired. Enjoy:)
