Note

I have a question right away

And what is on the plate next to the meatballs? Round

lesik_l , sorry to interfere. I think these are olives, and not pickled, but salted.

Oh, exactly. And I didn’t look. Thank you. I misrepresented this to myself.

By the way, such small meatballs are very convenient to form with an ice cream spoon. Fast and all the same turns out

lesik_l of course teftedes, I edited! only these are not meatballs, but small cutlets and you should not mold them with a spoon, they are molded like cutlets, the minced meat needs to be compacted!
