1/3 c. dry bread crumbs
1/4 c. milk
1 med. onion, chopped
1/4 c. water
1 lb. ground beef
Snipped parsley or mint
1 egg
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. lemon juice or red wine vinegar

Let bread crumbs soak in milk until soft. In a small saucepan bring onion and water to a boil, cover and simmer until water is gone and onion is transparent. In a medium bowl combine beef, parsley, egg, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, soaked bread crumbs, and onions. Form into balls about 1 1/2 inch in diameter, placing on a waxed cookie sheet and refrigerate until needed. In a large skillet heat butter. Slowly brown meatballs on all sides. Transfer to a heated dish. Melt additional butter and wine, vinegar or lemon juice and pour over meatballs. May bake meatballs in 350 degrees oven about 20 to 25 minutes if desired. Serve over hot rice.
