Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the grated onion, and the rest of the meatball ingredients (excluding olive oil) and mix well.
- Form the meatballs into small 1 inch balls.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the meatballs and fry until golden all around, about 7 minutes. You will have to do this in 2 batches, so do not overcrowd the meatballs.
- Transfer onto a plate and serve either as appetizers or with Greek salad, tzatziki sauce and pita bread as an entree.
Notes
- This recipe will yield roughly 40 meatballs.
- Baking directions: Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray, or use a baking rack. Bake at 375 F for 30 minutes until golden brown.
