Cooking is something I've always enjoyed...particularly when I'm doing it for people who enjoy eating! This dish is such a family favorite that I'll buy a ham sometimes just so I can make. I'm a city bus driver who likes to swap recipes with passengers. My husband and I have two sons, 20 and 18. Ingredients:
1 pound ground fully cooked ham |
1 jar (16 ounces) sauerkraut, drained and chopped |
1/4 cup finely chopped onion |
2 tablespoons plus 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs, divided |
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley |
1 tablespoon prepared mustard |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 to 1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 eggs |
1/4 cup milk |
oil for deep-fat frying |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the ham, sauerkraut, onion and 2 tablespoons bread crumbs. In another bowl, combine the cream cheese, parsley, mustard, garlic powder and pepper; stir into sauerkraut mixture. Chill for 1 hour or overnight.
2. Shape into 3/4-in. balls; coat with flour. In a small bowl, beat eggs and milk. Dip ham balls into the egg mixture, then roll in the remaining bread crumbs.
3. In a deep-fat fryer or electric skillet, heat oil to 375°. Fry ham balls until golden brown; drain on paper towels. Yield: 5 dozen.
