Fire Balls

Recipe By : Jo Anne Merrill
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:30
Categories : Appetizers Pork

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
12 ounces jalapeno peppers, canned
1 cup buttermilk baking mix
6 ounces mozzarella cheese — shredded
1 pound sausage
6 ounces seasoned bread crumbs

* Use a spicy breading mix made for pork or for less spicy dish use unseasoned
fine dry bread crumbs. A mixture of pork breading crumbs and plain crumbs is
good to use.

1. Cut off stem ends and remove seeds from the peppers. Rinse peppers to
remove seeds, but allow some seeds to remain if you like them hotter.

2. Stuff peppers lightly with cheese, then set aside.

3. Thoroughly mix sausage, biscuit mix, and remaining cheese. Make small
patties from the mixture. Place a pepper in the center of each patty,
then wrap and seal the dough around the pepper. Coat one or two balls at
a time by shaking them in a plastic bag with the pork breading mix or
seasoning of your choice.

4. Using a lightly greased skillet, brown sausage balls until the sausage
is thoroughly cooked, turning several times.

DOLMAS WITH LAMB

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Main Dish

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 lb Ground lamb
1 c Olive oil
3 tb Olive oil
1 c Finely chopped yellow onion
3 Finely chopped green onions
-(incl tops)
1/4 c Minced fresh parsley
2 tb Minced fresh mint
1/2 c Pine nuts
1 t Ground cinnamon
1/2 ts Ground allspice
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts Freshly ground black pepper
1 Jar (16 oz) grape leaves
-packed in brine
3/4 c Freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 c Chicken broth

Several stems of fresh parsley
Additional freshly squeezed lemon juice
Grated or minced lemon zest for garnish

Wash and drain the rice. Heat 3 Tbl olive oil in a
skillet over medium-high heat. Add the yellow onion
and saute until soft, but not brown, about 5 minutes.
Add ground lamb and fry with onion till done.
Transfer to mixing bowl and add the drained rice, 1/2
cup of the remaining olive oil, green onions, parsley,
mint, pine nuts, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and pepper.
Set aside. Rinse the grape leaves under running cold
water to remove as much brine as possible; pat dry and
stack on a plate.
Place 1 leaf at a time, shiny side down, on a flat
work surface. Cut off and discard the tough stem end.
Spoon about 1 Tbl of the rice mixture in the center
near the base of the leaf. Fold the stem end over to
cover the filling; fold both sides inward, lengthwise,
and then tightly roll leaf toward pointed tip end to
form a compact packet. Repeat with the remaining
leaves and filling. Pour about 2 Tbl of the remaining
olive oil in the bottom of a large pot and strew with
a layer of parsley stems to prevent grape leaves from
sticking. Arrange the stuffed leaves, seam side down
and almost touching on top of the parsley, making as
many layers as necessary. Drizzle the remaining 6 Tbl
olive oil the lemon juice and 1/2 cup broth over the
leaves.

Top with a heat-resistant plate and weight with a
heavy can to keep leaves from unwinding during
cooking. Cover the pot bring to a gentle boil reduce
the heat to low and cook until rice is tender about 1
hour. During cooking add a little heated liquid as
needed to keep dolmas moist. Remove from the heat and
cool in the pot.
Sprinkle with lemon juice to taste garnish with lemon
zest and serve at room temperature.
