Soak the bread in lukewarm water. Finely dice or grate the onion. Mix minced meat, onion, salt, well squeezed bread roll, new spices and egg yolk with a mixer to a smooth dough. With wet hands, form balls 2 1/2 cm in diameter.
Heat oil in a frying pan, fry meatballs in batches until brown all over.
Drain briefly on paper towels and serve the meatballs as desired.
Preparation Tip:
This goes well with mashed potatoes, for example. You can also serve the balls as finger food with a dip of your choice.
