I have peskesi from the village of fennel. I love fennel. It goes into soups, pies, accompanies meat, fish, etc.… what to think first. Today I will make them meatballs. Rustic… those… without the cheese inside, for a pure sweet delicious taste.

- Finely chop the fennel
- In a small frying pan, pour the olive oil and sauté the onions, quench with ouzo, and then add the fennel. Leave as long as it takes for them to wither.
- Then place the fennel with the onions in a bowl, wait for it to cool a bit and add the eggs with the flour, season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
