• Minced pork and beef 1 kg
• Garlic 4 pieces
• Dried mint 2-3 tbsp. spoons
• Ground oregano ½ tsp spoons
• Salt to taste

• Feta 200 g
• Freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 tbsp spoon

Cooking method

• Combine the minced meat with minced garlic, mint, oregano, salt and black pepper.

  Instead of dried mint, you can use a few fresh sprigs.

• Add olive oil to the meat and stir again. Put in the refrigerator for an hour and a half.

• Grind the feta in a blender with lemon juice and cayenne pepper. Divide the mass into 8 parts, roll into balls and flatten a little.

• Divide the minced meat into 8 pieces. Take one piece and form a rounded blank. Use your finger to make a depression in the center, insert the feta there and squeeze the edges so that the filling stays inside. Make 7 more cutlets in the same way.
