  This is a recipe from Lombardy.

  parsley, and 2 cloves of garlic. Add to this the ground
  beef, together with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stir in the
  crumbled white bread that has been soaked in milk and
  squeezed dry.

  Finally, stir in 1 beaten egg. On a floured board, form
  the mixture lightly into small flattened cakes about 1/2"
  thick and 1 1/2" wide.

  Do not work the mixture or press it too much. Brown the
  cakes in 1/4 cup hot olive oil for about 2 minutes on
  each side. Drain them and serve at once.
