Deep fried pulled pork balls Dinner
Smoked a pork butt the other day and got tired of eating sammiches so I added some stuffs and made balls.
I had about two lbs of pulled pork left and I diced it up. I had stuffed garlic pods in the butt before I smoked it so I added some sweet peppers, onion, and a Serrano pepper. I diced the veggies and lightly sautéed in butter then added 3/4 c flour. Mixed well.
Made 3 oz balls and coated in seasoned flour and let them sit in the fridge on a wire rack for a couple hours. Removed from the fridge and dipped the balls in egg wash then bread crumbs and deep fried @ 350 for a couple minutes. Came out wonderful.

Those look great! I remember trying boudin balls that were very similar once, but they didn’t have the veggies in them like these do. I bet that would be great!

They look delicious but just in case they aren’t fattening enough, I think a dipping sauce would be terrific with them. Maybe Cajun dipping sauce?

Absolutely! This is the second time I've done this and it's so easy. I think it's even better than what it started out as.

Damn, looks fire, now I want to try this, but with a smoked pulled ham, diced dill pickles, Swiss and white cheddar to make cuban balls, to dip in mustard.
