Very easy to do and great taste!

Mix:
1 pound (450g) ground pork
3 french shallots (chopped) (1 onion?)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 egg (beaten)
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons orange juice
8g (1 teaspoon) salt
Pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon MSG

Stuff with:
3 tablespoons cranberry sauce

Cover with:
1/2 cup parmesan (grated)

Bake for 15 minutes (turn after 10 minutes) @ 400F

I wasn’t happy with the colour and the IT already reached over 165F after 15 minutes so I finished with a blowtorch.

I’ve done these a couple of times now and they are pretty good.  

The cheesy/crunchy parmesan crust is awesome!  They can be prepared ahead of time and cooked just before serving with a toothpick and homemade mustard dip.

    This the Canadian version of Schwetty Balls?

    I’m not sure it matters, they look delicious!

    Is it safe to google that? 🤣😂

    SWMBO grabbed the recipe from a local grocery store website (french) so I didn’t bother linking it.

    One question - you’re stuffing each with 3 TBS of Cranberry sauce?  Because in that one picture it looks like maybe quite a bit less than that.

    Of course, I guess it’s possible that you’ve got some huge balls there…

    3 tablespoons is the total, I just put a tiny bit.

    First time I hear about it! 🤣😂.  We live in a cultural bubble, we have our own TV shows, etc.  I didn’t speak a word of english until I was about 12 years old.  We had english classes but it sucked!  I basically learned by reading technical documentation and enabling english subtitles while watching TV.  Until maybe 10 years ago, I didn’t watch any english TV shows.

    Does this translate to “gosses sallées?”

    I hear you. I grew up an Anglo-Quebecker but my entirely-Anglo folks were wise and placed me in French immersion. I am now relatively proficient. My wife is Franco-Ontarian but got her English to the point she wrote her thesis in English and now has no accent whatsoever. Both are so necessary in this region.

    What's the difference between french shallots and the other kind?

    It is most likely the same thing and a poor translation on my end.

    In french, shallot translates to «échalotes».  Around here,  «échalotes» means green onions and «échalotes françaises» means shallot.

    yep, that sounds about right 🤣😂.

    I have the worst accent ever, there are some words that I just cannot pronounce regardless of how hard I try.  At work, I almost exclusively speak english.

    Thanks.  Maybe that's where the confusion here of calling green onions "shallots" originates.  Helpful.
