• In a large bowl, combine the grated onion and its juices with the ground beef, ground pork, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, mint, olive oil, seasoning mix and vinegar. 

• Use your hands to combine the mixture until its fully combined. 

• Use a tablespoon or half an ice-cream scooper to portion out the meatballs.  Roll each meatball into 2-inch round balls.  

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.  

• Place the flour into a shallow bowl.  Dredge the meatballs slightly in the flour and place a a plate until the pan is hot and the oil is shimmering.
