Pork Boulettes Recipes

Steps:

• 1. To the ground pork add the onion, bread crumbs, milk, parsley, ginger, and dry mustard. (If you choose to use the ground cinnamon and ground cloves option, add them to the meat mixture). Add the beaten egg. Salt and pepper, make into 2 inch balls. Flour them (with white flour).
• 2. Fry the meat balls in a fat of your choice to brown them.

• 6. Serve with mashed potatoes or noodles.

Steps:

• Have small bowl of cold water ready. Divide pork mixture into 24 portions and, using dampened fingers and palms, shape each into ball.
• Sprinkle balls with remaining bread crumbs and roll balls to coat with crumbs. Discard excess.
• Heat oil in skillet large enough to hold meatballs without crowding. Add meatballs and cook, turning often to brown evenly, 2 or 3 minutes. Scatter remaining onions and minced garlic around meatballs.

• Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Once cool combine vegetable mixture, ground pork, egg, bread crumbs, and salt/pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
• Cook a test patty to see if seasoning needs to be adjusted.
• Form meatballs to desired size about 1".
• Dredge meatballs in flour and shake off any excess.
• Heat pan with oil (enough to shallow fry the meatballs) over medium high heat and place a meatball in, if it does not sear or if it burns adjust your heat.
• Once the pan is ready brown your meatballs and place on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven.
• Cook until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees or when you cut one in half and there is no visible sign of pink.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Put pork in a mixing bowl and set aside.
• In another bowl, combine bread pieces and milk. Blend thoroughly with the fingers, then add to the pork, along with the onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Blend thoroughly with the fingers.
• Shape the mixture into 6 to 8 meatballs of about the same size.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, combine the pork and 3 teaspoons of the Essence, and cook, stirring, until brown over medium high heat, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain on paper towels. In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of the flour and, stirring constantly for 5 minutes, make a dark brown roux. To the pork, add the onions and bell peppers, and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the pork mixture to the roux and cook for 1 minute. Add the water, salt, and cayenne, and bring to a boil. Simmer until thick, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the rice, green onions, and 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and spread on a baking sheet or platter until cool enough to handle. In a shallow bowl, season the remaining 3/4 cup of flour with 2 teaspoons of the Essence. In another shallow bowl, season the remaining 1 cup of bread crumbs with the remaining tablespoon of Essence. In a third shallow bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Preheat the oil to 360 degrees F. Shape the pork and rice mixture into balls the size of walnuts. Dredge the pork balls first in the flour, then dip in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Dredge the balls in the seasoned bread crumbs, turning to coat evenly. Using a slotted spoon, slide the balls in batches into the oil and fry, turning until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season lightly with salt, and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve hot with the Spicy Dip

Steps:

• Mix sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon cloves, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, nutmeg, and garlic salt together in a bowl. Rub salt mixture all over pork shanks.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan. Cook pork shanks in the hot oil until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Pour in enough water to cover the shanks. Stir in coarsely chopped onion and celery. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until pork can be easily removed from the bones, 2 to 3 hours.
• Transfer pork shanks to a cutting board; shred pork.
• Strain cooking liquid, discarding bones, onion, and celery. Pour strained liquid back into the saucepan. Stir in shredded pork.
• Mix ground pork, finely chopped onion, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon cloves, ginger, mustard powder, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Shape into balls.
• Pour toasted flour into a shallow dish. Roll meatballs in toasted flour.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs in batches until browned, about 1 minute per side.
• Stir browned meatballs into the shredded pork stew. Simmer, stirring in leftover toasted flour, until meatballs are no longer pink in the center and stew is thick, about 30 minutes.
