So it was the evening we had all been waiting for! The celebration on our minds, especially Mum's! It was her birthday! I won't say how old she turned or she may be cranky! Anyway I was contributing to the menu with some sort of starters. I came across this pork ball recipe and thought I would give it a go! I made these and also some cous cous for the mains.
So what can I say about this dish! Firstly very time consuming (I was up till midnight), especially seeing as I had to finely dice all the ingredients as we don't have a food processor! grrr! I can't wait till I have my own kitchen and can have an awesome food processor! maybe a red one.
The pork balls had a lovely flavour! just beautiful! I was making them the night before the party and we probably ate almost a quarter of them that night! Well mainly Will stealing away as quick as I could fry them! The texture was ok, I would of preferred them to be a little crispier on the outside. Maybe baked in the oven would of been better, less time consuming and less fattening also!
The dipping sauce was a little disappointing, in that I didn't think it matched the pork balls very well. Would of been great with some seafood though!
Overall a great party starter and all of them were gobbled up within 15 minutes or so.
A nice way to begin a evening celebration of a wonderful lady! Happy Birthday Mum!!
