Instructions

MEATBALL METHOD:

1. 1. Place all of the Meatball ingredients except the Oil in the food processor and pulse a few times until the Oats are broken down into small bits. The mixture should be evenly mixed and when you take a piece in your palms and roll into a ball it should hold its shape.
2. 2. Divide the mixture into 20 (2.5cm) meatballs.
3. 3. Heat Oil in a heavy-bottomed fry pan or skillet. I used a 25.4cm fry pan for this.
4. 4. Place the Meatballs in a single layer without overlapping or overcrowding. Fry, turning over occasionally until the Meatballs are browned on all sides.
5. 5. Remove the Meatballs to a plate lined with paper napkins and set aside.

BBQ SAUCE METHOD:

6. 1. Place all of the ingredients for the Barbecue Sauce in a small saucepan.
7. 2. Bring to a boil turn down the heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15 minutes. Turn off heat.
8. 3. Place the Meatballs in a bowl or skillet and pour the Barbecue Sauce over them. Coat the Meatballs thoroughly and serve.
9. 4. Add some Fresh Basil just for Garnish if you have.
