Balls Of Fire Recipe
- 2 slc French bread, dry
- 1 c. Lowfat milk, (about)
- 1 lb Grnd sirloin
- 1 x Onion
- 1 x Fresh jalapeno pepper
- 2 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil, or possibly canola oil
- 1 x Egg, or possibly 2 egg whites
- 2 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tsp Cilantro, minced (about) Salt and pepper to taste Canola oil for frying
- To make meatballs: Soak bread in lowfat milk.
- Squeeze it lightly.
- Add in to sirloin, discarding any extra lowfat milk.
- Chop onion fine.
- Using rubber gloves, wash jalapeno.
- Remove and throw away stem.
- Chop extra fine.
- Open all windows in kitchen.
- Saute/fry onion and jalapeno lightly in oil.
- (Note: If fumes bother you, cover pan; if they still bother you, consider mix sauteed sufficient.)
- Cold slightly.
- Add in to meat mix, blending well.
- Beat egg lightly.
- Add in Parmesan, cilantro, salt and black pepper.
- Add in to meat mix.
- Blend together well.
- Wearing rubber gloves, form meat mix into balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
- Separate balls into 2 batches.
- To cook meatballs: Pour oil into cast-iron skillet so a 1/2 inch of oil covers bottom.
- Heat till piece of meat mix dropped in oil sizzles.
- Turn heat to medium high.
- Fry first batch of meatballs till undersides brown.
- Roll them over so other side browns.
- Remove from oil with slotted spoon.
- Drain well on paper towels.
- Fry second batch of meatballs in same oil.
- Note: These mildly warm meatballs make excellent appetizers (best if served within two hrs of cooking) and may be served with Sizzling Salsa as a dip , or possibly with homemade or possibly canned spaghetti sauce as an entree.
- To make them zippier, add in another jalapeno.
- Note for me: fairly mild - add in more jalapeno.
- Tasty.
