DIRECTIONS
  1. Combine all the meatball ingredients except the olive oil in a large bowl. Form the mixture into small meatballs, just smaller than a golf ball.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy bottom skillet over medium high heat.
  3. Once the oil is hot, add half of the meatballs and sauté for 3-4 minutes, turning every so often to brown the outside and then continue cooking through for about 6 minutes more.
  4. Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the oil and repeat the process with the remaining meatballs.
