Place all ingredients except olive oil into a bowl and work everything together thoroughly with your hands.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour.
Scoop out 1 - 2T of the mixture and roll into meatball in your hands. Flatten somewhat to thickness of about 1/3 of the diameter. Repeat with remainder.
Heat about 1/2-inch of the oil in a frying pan. Cook meatballs for about one minute per side or until golden brown all over. Place on a paper towel on a cookie sheet to absorb excess oil.
