MEATBALLS: 1) To chop onion in food processor, peel and quarter onion; place in bowl. Pulse 4 to 7 times until onion is finely chopped. Scrape bowl once during chopping. CHop enough onion to measure ⅔ cup. Drain onions, if needed.

Set aside.

2) To toast sesame seeds, spread seeds in large, dry skillet. Shake skillet over medium-low heat until seeds begin to pop and turn golden, about 3 minutes. Set aside 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds for Sesame-Sour Cream Sauce.

3) Cut bread slice into quarters. Process bread quarters in food processor or blender until fine crumbs form. Crumbs should measure ½ cup.

4) Combine ground beef, onion, bread crumbs, milk, egg, salt, pepper and ginger in large bowl.

5) Place meat mixture on cutting board; pat evenly into 8x6-inch rectangle.

With sharp knife, cut meat into 48 (1-inch) squares; shape each square into 1-inch meatball.

6) Heat 2 tablespoons oil and 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium heat. Cook half the meatballs until brown on all sides, 8 to 9 minutes. Add ½ cup broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, 5 to 10 minutes. Set ccoked meatballs aside.

Repeat with remaining meatballs, using remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons butter and ½ cup broth.

7) Meanwhile, prepare Sesame-Sour Cream Sauce. Place hot meatballs in serving bowl; top with sauce. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds. Garnish with parsley sprigs.
