Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
4 cups cooked rice
⅔ cup milk
2 medium onions, diced
⅔ cup dry bread crumbs
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
¼ cup cornmeal
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

Grind oats in a food processor until fine. Add cooked rice and milk; mix until pureed. Add onions, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, cornmeal, eggs, flour, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper; pulse until thoroughly combined.
Roll about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into a ball. Repeat with remaining mixture to make about 48 meatballs. Place in the refrigerator until firm, about 1 hour.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop meatballs in batches into the hot oil, and fry until heated through and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes.
