1
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.
