Fry onion and garlic in a bit of olive oil until slightly brown. Allow to cool.
Mix all the other ingredients in a large bowl (except oats) till well combined.
Add in the onion and garlic and mix with the mince mixture.
Then gradually add in oats and mix well.
Roll the mixture into balls as small as a ping-pong ball size.
Fry the balls in olive oil for approximately 3 to 4 minutes and then turn them over for the same amount of time until the surface of the entire ball looks evenly brown and well cooked.
