                                                    Meatballs

1 pound lean ground beef

1 egg

1/2 small onion diced small

2 cloves fresh garlic smashed

1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped fine

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon oregano fresh chopped

2 slices white bread soaked in 1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese

In a saute pan place 2 tablespoons of the oil, saute the onion and garlic until limp but not brown, place aside to cool a little. Into a mixing bowl add the meat, egg, and the seasonings and the bread/milk mixture, add the onion garlic mixture and mix it all together well. From into meatballs about 2 inches in diameter and fry in the saute pan in the rest of the oil until nice and brown all over. Add to your favoite tomato sauce and simmer for 30 minutes, serve over pasta or ravioli as we had here.
