Place the ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, diced onion and garlic in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Combine using your hands and form into balls.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the meatballs for 15 minutes or until evenly browned and cooked through. Set aside and wipe out frying pan with a paper towel.
