Saucy Balls

I made spaghetti with whole wheat penne for dinner. These balls were a little on the creative side (trying to clean out the fridge before our vacation on Wednesday), but they came out pretty good.

Start with ground beef, bread crumbs and ricotta with fennel, honey and orange. (Thanks Lauren for the yummy ricotta - I re-purposed it!) They ended up sweet, savory and tangy!

My balls. They chilled in the fridge for 2 hours.

Then I deep fried them in duck fat. Yup.

Golden brown delicious. Added some high quality tomato sauce and baked off in the oven to finish for 30 minutes. (Covered in foil at 350).
