Step 1
In a large bowl, combine 4 cups stale bread (torn into small pieces), 0.5 cup chopped parsley, and 0.5 cup chopped olives. Mix well.
Step 2
In a small bowl, beat 2 eggs with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Pour over the bread mixture and stir until evenly moistened.
Step 3
Sprinkle 0.5 cup flour over the mixture and stir until a sticky dough forms. If too dry, add 1-2 tbsp water.
Step 4
With wet hands, shape the mixture into 12 balls, each about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Step 5
Heat 0.25 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the balls in a single layer, working in batches if needed.
Step 6
Cook the balls, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Step 7
Serve warm with cucumber slices and tea, if desired.
