Method

1. Combine all of the ingredients together, and mix vigorously, for about 2 minutes.
2. When the mixture is evenly mixed well, portion into small two-inch balls.
3. Heat up a large saute pan with a couple tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil starts to smoke, place the balls in the pan and brown on as many sides as possible.
