Preparation

Wash and rinse the vegetables well and let them drain. Chop and place all vegetables in a large bowl and season them with the salt. Use your hands to mix them well, pat them dry in your palms and place them in a new bowl. Add the eggs, pepper, anise, raki or ouzo. Add the flour little by little, until you get a firm paste. Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan or pot. Spoon in the mixture in amounts that correspond to a ball the size of your choice, and fry the balls until golden brown on both sides. Use a perforated skimmer to remove the balls and drain them on a paper towel.
