Directions:

  1. Chop garlic, celery leaves and potato.
  2. In a mixing bowl combine ground meat, bread crumbs, grated lemon peel, salt, chopped garlic, sage and celery leaves, potato, two tablespoons olive oil and the egg.
  3. Knead like bread dough and slowly add some milk to make a soft dough.
  4. The meat dough should be smooth and homogenous.
  5. Shape into 2 inch meatballs, flatten to about 1 1/2 inch thickness and fry in olive oil until golden brown.
  6. My aunt served them with a salad of cooked green beans and potatoes, seasoned with nothing but salt, pepper and savory and drizzled with olive oil.
