Fasirt (Hungarian meat balls)

Originally uploaded by zannnielim

Fasírt is Hungarian meatball. Some westerners outside Hungary called it the Hungarian Hamburger. I think Meatball describes it better.

It is made from ground meat (pork), bread, eggs, onions and garlic and flavored with paprika, black pepper and salt. The ingredients are usually mixed and formed into a ball that flattened a little after deep frying. It is one of the popular food served with főzelék or mashed potatoes.
