Howdy...
Had a craving for MOink Balls but didnt have any ground beef at home and didnt feel like grinding up a Ribeye for MOinkballs - so i thought why not give it a try with some ground leftover Pulled Pork ?
Cut it into grinder size pieces
fed some Jalapenos through the grinder first
followed up by the pulled pork - which slightly irritated my buddy porker...
Then i added a pound of ground pork ( nope, not Porker you animals ! )
some of my own Pigwings BBQ Rub, melted Butter and BBQ Sauce to the mix for a good moisture content.
Then it was time to use my new toy for the very first time - the "MOink Baller"
It was very easy to shape dozens of balls in a very short time. I love this thing.
Porker obviously doesnt - he passed out when he saw me use it...
wrapped some bacon around them and fixed with a toothpick
fired up the medium Big Green Egg and added some cherry wood
and 35 Minutes later i glazed the Balls with Sweet Baby Ray´s Honey Chipotle Sauce
Had some fresh Bread with butter and sea salt flakes as sides. Good enough to eat.
Oh, and what about Porker ? Well, since he got aware of the hard fact that Moink Balls can be made with 100 % Pork - he´s... well... working hard on saving his species...
So long,
DM
