1In a large bowl, combine ground beef, grated onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, egg, chopped mint, and breadcrumbs. Mix gently until just combined.

2Shape the mixture into meatballs about 2.5 cm in diameter (roughly 2 tablespoons each).

3Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

4Fry the meatballs in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.

5Transfer meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

6Serve hot with lemon wedges and tzatziki on the side.
