Directions Spicy Portuguese Stuffing Balls
Directions
-
Place bread into a large bowl. Pour water over the bread, add egg. Press mixture down with fists, turning as needed, until bread is evenly moistened and crumbled.
Melt lard in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and parsley, simmer until onions are tender, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Stir in vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and ground black pepper, simmer until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.
Pour onion mixture over the bread mixture, turning the bread while pouring, mix until stuffing mixture is evenly combined.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
Form stuffing mixture into 3-inch balls, place onto baking sheets 1 1/2-inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.
