BIFTEKIA

2 slices of bread, soaked in water for 10 minutes
2 lbs minced beef or pork
1 large onion, grated
1 egg
1 tbsp oregano
2 tbsp thyme
1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
parsley, chopped
salt
pepper

1 lemon, to garnish
1. Squeeze excess moisture from the bread and discard the crusts.
2. Mix together all the ingredients, in a bowl, by hand.
3. Let this mixture stand for half an hour if you have the time.
4. Make large, round, flattened hamburgers and grill under a hot grill, approximately 3 minutes on each side; or even better place them on an oiled grid and barbecue them for 5 to 6 minutes on each side.
5. They should be slightly uncooked inside and moist; turn them over once, but do not let them get scorched.
6. Serve them with quartered lemons on the side of the platter, with some fresh salad.
