LowCarb Mediterranean Cheese and Olive Meatballs

• 1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian flat parsley, or 1/4 cup dry
• 2 Tbs.. onion, finely chopped
• 1 lb. ground lamb or beef
• 1/2 cup crumbled either Provolone, Mozzarella, Pecorino, or feta cheese
• 1/2 cup pitted green and/or black olives, coarsely chopped
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp. fennel seeds, whole or crushed (optional, or anise seed)
• 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes (optional, as to more or less)
• 1/2 tsp. salt


1) In a large bowl or a clean dry surface, blend all the ingredients with your hands and shape into 16 meatballs.
2) Place the meatballs about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet and broil, about 3 inches away from the heat until browned. Turn  and brown on all sides.
You may also fry the meatballs in olive oil and use them as the base for an Italian meat sauce, which you may serve over them.
