Gently combine with your hands or a wooden spoon. Roll mixture into 17-18 evenly-sized meatballs, approximately 1 1/4 ounces each.
Step 3
Heat Canola Oil (1 tablespoon) in a cast iron or oven-safe skillet over medium heat until hot. Arrange meatballs in a single layer and brown on all sides, about 20 minutes. Remove meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate and drain all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the skillet.

Step 8
Place in oven uncovered and bake for 20-25 minutes, until sauce is reduced, stirring once.
Step 9
Remove from oven and stir to coat with sauce. Sprinkle with Crumbled Feta Cheese (1/4 cup) and Black Olives (1/4 cup), then return to oven for 5 minutes.
