Method:

1. In a large bowl combine all of the ingredients.

2. Form into meatballs, recipe yields 8 – 10.

3. Heat a large frying pan over medium high heat. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan, and add as many meatballs as fit in a single layer without touching (this is key to getting the meatballs to brown properly).
