Hog Balls
“Because the
mixture needs to chill/harden, prepping the mixture the night before makes for
easy balls.” lilasapron
Ingredients:
1 lb pork
sausage (I like jimmy dean), cooked crumbly, drained off
8oz cream
cheese, softened
1 can
sauerkraut, drained, squeezed within an inch of its life, and ran through the
food
processor (for finely chopped kraut)
3-4 green
onions, chopped
1 tbsp
prepared mustard
3 eggs
Cooking oil
(peanut is best, but expensive. (Vegetable
oil or canola fine. No olive.)
1 large Ziploc
bag with breading mix of 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp
pepper
Make
some balls:
In large
bowl, combine sausage, kraut, mustard, cream cheese, and green onions.
Mix very well
until combined.
Chill
overnight, or for at least 2 hours.
Form into balls
that are about 1.5 to 2 inches by gently rolling mixture between palms.
Handle the
balls with care.
Stop to
lightly juggle or fondle them, if you wish.
Stop and
drink a beer
Put all balls
into Ziploc bag and gently toss around to dredge in flour.
Remove balls
and get them all into the egg bath.
Put balls
BACK into flour and gently toss to coat again.
Stop and
drink a beer
Heat oil to
med-high heat in largest frying pan that you have.
I have a
12-inch pan, and i fit all of my 2-inch balls into it perfectly, for one batch
of frying.
With the oil,
you want to use at least an inch of oil, but more oil is better.
If you have a
deep fryer, USE IT.
Once oil is
hot, (does a flicking of water drops crackle and dance?), place balls in oil,
and fry for about 4-5 minutes, until golden brown, and then gently turn balls
w/ tongs and fry for another few minutes.
The balls
should be golden brown all over.
Remove balls
and drain on paper towel.
Serve with
dipping sauce (recipe below) if desired, but no sauce is necessary.
Serve with
beer (necessary).
Creamy
horsey dip:
Mix 1 cup mayo (we use olive oil mayo,
keeping with this recipe’s
general healthiness) with 2 tbsp prepared
horseradish (we use wasabi paste), juice of half a
lemon, 2 tbsp honey, and
some salt & pepper.
Done.
