Qofte

Qofte is something i often cook as a starter, this is main course but when i have friends over for dinner, i tend to cook qofte as a starter whist a salty food goes well with beer or white wine before the main course.

These are the ingredients you will need to Qofte.
1 lb. mince meat (pork, veal, or lamb)
1 egg
1 piece of finely chopped onion
3-4 garlic cloves finely chopped
Breadcrumbs
Spices (oregano, mint, sage, fresh dill, fresh parsley) all finely chopped.

Directions
Mix the meat with 1 beaten egg, the onion, and the garlic. Add breadcrumbs to dry the mix, and the spices. Form into round pieces and bake the mix at 200o F without oil. Baking the Qofte taste much better but there are different ways to do them, one other way is frying the Qofte in oil, then chop tomatoes and cook the tomatoes together with the Qofte in a pot for 15 minutes and serve in a bed of pasta.
