Place all the ingredients (except the flour) in a bowl and mix thoroughly until a paste forms. Refrigerate for one hour.
Spread some flour on a tray. With damp hands, take portions of the meat mixture and shape medium-sized meatballs. If making them as snacks, you can shape them to the size of a walnut. Roll the meatballs in the flour.
Heat olive oil in a pan until very hot and fry the meatballs for about three minutes, until they are cooked through and golden brown.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the meatballs cook evenly.
In a bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix until smooth and well blended.
Refrigerating the meat mixture helps the flavors meld and makes it easier to shape the meatballs.
