Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the meat in a mixing bowl and add the onion juice, eggs, salt and pepper to taste.

  2. Step 2

    Blend the meat mixture with the hands and shape it into 12 ovals of equal size. Run a skewer lengthwise through the center of each meatball and arrange the meatballs on a baking sheet. Brush all over with oil.

  3. Step 3

    Prepare the toast and have it ready.

  4. Step 4

    Combine the yogurt with the garlic and s alt to taste and set aside.

  5. Step 5

    Melt the butter and keep it hot.

  6. Step 6

    Grill the meat balls over charcoal or a gas grill (or under the broiler if you must) about five minutes, depending on the desired degree of doneness. Turn them frequently so that they cook evenly.

  7. Step 7

    Arrange the meat balls on toast and spoon equal amounts of the yogurt sauce over each serving. Pour melted butter over each serving.

Tip
  • To prepare onion juice, grate a small onion and add salt to taste. Let stand about five minutes. Strain the juice through cheesecloth.
