The fried meatballs

Kolokythokeftedes, Revithokeftedes, Domatokeftedes

There are three different types of meatballs: Kolokithokeftedes are the classic eggplant meatballs, the Revithokeftedes are zucchini meatballs and the Domatokeftedes are a kind of tomato meatballs, even if they are more fried tomatoes, typical of the island of santorini.

Frankly, both the zucchini and eggplant meatballs, wherever I ate them, were spectacular, the tomatoes a little less so; I prefer them fresh to salads.

Usually when you order this dish they bring you very generous portions, so be careful about the order you make. If you find only three or four meatballs inside when they bring you a plate, it means that you have come to an Mangia Turisti tavern.
