Keftedes/Keftethes
Troutman post about his dinner last night got me to thinking….. What Troutman made is what I know as Kefta. I did not know there were several spellings. I looked it up and Troutman’s dish was more Persian than anything.
Then I looked up keftedes in my Greek books and found two things: "enter name here"keftedes are fritters (think fried squash blossoms). And in another book keftedes/keftethes are meatballs (beef, lamb or combo) that are pan fried.
I never knew there were so many variations. I guess just like sausages in different regions. Or the way butchery is different stateside versus Europe.
Food for thought…. Pun intended!
