Notes

Make sure to mix the meat gently; overmixing can make them tough. Adjust the seasoning to taste, and feel free to add herbs like parsley or oregano for extra flavor. To store leftovers, let them cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the fridge for up to three days and frozen for about three months.
