Do something new

Ok, some of you have been asking for the famous meatball recipe.  Here it is... one of the ONLY times I will give you a recipe that contains animal products.  If you have family or friends that refuse to give up their carnivorous ways, have them over for dinner and fix these meatballs.  It is a sure hit!  Serve over pasta with fresh marinara sauce.

Meatballs
One pound of some type of meat (ground beef, ground turkey, or ground venison)
1 onion, finely diced
1 TBSP olive oil
1 cup fresh bread crumbs ( old stale french bread, food processed to small crumbs, then toasted in the oven for 2 minutes on low heat)
1 egg
2 TBSP fresh chopped parsley
3 cloves minced garlic
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt and black pepper to taste
canola oil or vegetable oil, 1/2 inch deep in a large frying pan

Slow cook the diced onions in the olive oil until they are translucent.  Continue to cook them slowly until they develop a light brown color and stick to the pan.  Transfer the onions to a large bowl, and add the rest of the ingredients, while heating the oil in the frying pan.  Form large balls using an ice cream scooper or large spoon. Allow the balls to be loosely formed.  DO NOT tightly pack the ingredients together.  Drop gently in the hot oil and allow to brown on all sides.  Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and serve.
