1 medium size onion, finely chopped, or grated

Soak the 2 slices of white bread briefly in water.
Remove and squeeze out all the water from the bread.
In a large bowl, add the bread, beaten egg, onion, garlic, herbs, mince.
Season well with freshly ground salt and pepper.
Mix together until well combined.
Take spoonfuls of the mixture and roll into walnut sized balls.
Place on a tray or plate, cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.
Place flour on a plate and roll each meatball lightly in the flour.
In a large heavy based frying pan heat the oil until very hot and fry the meatballs for 3-4 minutes on each side or until
crisp and golden all over.
These meatballs can be shallow or deep fried.
Drain on absorbent paper and serve with lemon wedges.
