Preparation
Step 1
Mince the garlic, dice the onion, and chop the parsley. Throw all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and combine (don't cook the onion or garlic). If the mixture is a bit dry, you can add some olive oil or a dash of water.
Step 2
Now get messy! Combine all of the ingredients and shape golf-ball sized orbits of goodness.
Step 3
Fry the meatballs in a generous amount of olive oil until brown. Don't play with them or turn them too much - you want the outsides to firm up so they don't fall apart.
Step 4
Add some parsley and final touch of parmigiana to serve!
