Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350&# 194;°F (175°C) for deep frying.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, pork, and veal mixture.
  3. Add the minced onion, minced garlic clove, chopped parsley, and chopped green onion tops to the meat.
  4. Season the mixture generously with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and hot pepper sauce to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  5. Divide the meat mixture into eight equal portions and shape each into a small, flat oval or round patty.
  6. Carefully lower the meat patties into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  7. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the pies are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Remove the pies with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  9. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
