Full recipe from : yummly.com

Take all the bread crumbs and the ground meats, plus the Parmesan, parsley, pepper, salt, egg, nutmeg and 3/4 of a cup of warm water in a bow – then combine all these items together. Form the resulting mixture into meatballs about 2-inches in diameter, using your hands.
Pour some olive oil and vegetable oil into a large skillet, coating the bottom to a depth of 1/4 of an inch. After heating the oil, place the meatballs into the oil, and turn with a spatula until they are brown all over. Remove from the heat and transfer the meatballs to a plate. Discard the oil.
To make the sauce, heat up more olive oil in the same pan, then add in the onion. Saute until it becomes translucent, then add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add in the wine and continue to cook on a high heat. When the liquid has all but evaporated, stir in the tomatoes, salt, pepper and parsley.
Add the meatballs to the sauce, cover and then simmer. The meatballs should be cooked through within about 25 minutes.
Serve the meatballs on cooked spaghetti and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
