• Bring a salted pot of water to a boil on the stovetop. Add the green beans to the boiling water and blanch for about 5 minutes, until bright green and slightly tender. Drain.
• Combine all ingredients for meatballs in a medium bowl, first stirring and then using hands to blend. Form meat mixture into 16 to 20 small balls.
• In a sauté pan over medium high heat, add one tablespoon of olive oil and add the meatballs. Cook for about 8 minutes, or until browned on all sides and cooked through.
