Refrigerate meatballs for at least 10 minutes before proceeding with recipe. 3. To saute meatballs, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add meatballs and cook them for about 10 minutes, turning them until they are browned on all sides. 4. Transfer them to a platter and set them aside. In same pan, heat remaining teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute them for 8 to 10 minutes or until they are browned. 5.
