   Put the minced meat, about half of chopped parsley, almond slivers, chopped onion, garlic, eggs and breadcrumbs in a bowl and knead. Season with salt, pepper, cinnamon and pimento. Rub the palms of your hands with a little oil and form approx. 16 long rolls (approx. 7 cm each) from the chopped mass, cover and chill.
