From Caribbean choice, these little gems are so easy to make & the taste is not too overpowering so it's a great recipe for kids too, my toddler gobbled these up! I found when I made them that the flour made it hard for the cheese to stick so I did half with flour & the rest without. I baked these in the oven to cut down on fat and I think if baking then the flour step is not needed Ingredients:
4 slices white bread |
1 cup milk |
1 lb fresh lean ground beef |
2 slices smoked ham or 2 slices bacon, minced |
salt and pepper |
1 garlic clove, crushed |
1 tablespoon tomato paste |
1/2 cup flour |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
fat, heated to 365 f (for frying) |
Directions:
1. Soak bread in milk 5 minutes, then mash and mix with ground beef, minced ham, salt, pepper, garlic, and tomato paste.
2. Roll into walnut-sized balls, coat with flour and then with cheese.
3. Fry in heated fat until golden brown.
4. Drain on absorbent paper. Serve hot with tomato sauce as a dip.
