I came across another recipe for the pirate party at a danish website which is good and healthy(which is just a plus).
Cannon balls (about 160 pcs.)
- 1 ½ kg minced beef (about 6% fat)
- 4 tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups finely grated yellow onions
- 3 small crushed clove of garlic
- 3 eggs
- 4 ½ cups milk
- 2 ½ cups bread crumbs
- 75 g butter for frying
- 24 slices of rye bread
- 250 g butter
- 12 slices of light sandwich bread
- 4 cucumbers (about 1400 g)
- 24 bamboo skewers – approx. 20 cm long
- 600 g cherry tomatoes
- 6 bananas (about 1200 g)
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 600 g mild cheese
Heating time for “cannonballs”: About 5 min. at 200 °.
Preparation of the “cannon balls”:
- Stir the minced meat with salt in ca. 1 min.
- Add Onion, garlic and eggs in.
- Stir milk in gradually and then add bread crumbs.
- Place the stuffing covered in the refrigerator for approx. ½ hour.
- Split stuffing into 3 portions. Let 2 servings stand covered in the refrigerator.
- Form the third portion small meatballs (about 1 tablespoon).
- Let 1 / 3 of the butter until golden in a pan. Fry the meatballs over a moderate heat on all sides (about 5 min. In total).
- Shake the pan occasionally so that the “cannon balls” retain the round shape. Shape and fry the rest of the stuffing (1 portion at a time).
- Gather all “cannon balls” in a baking pan lined with baking paper.
- Add the slice bread with butter and place them 2 by 2
- Cut each “slice bread” into 4 triangles.
- Prepare sandwich bread the same way (cut if necessary. Crusts of).
- Cut cucumbers into 1-inch thick slices and arrange them on bamboo skewers alternating with tomatoes.
- Cut each banana into 4 pieces and dip the cutting surfaces in lemon juice.
- Cut cheese into small strips.
- Warm “cannon balls” in the middle of the oven at the end.
Serve each portion plate: Two dark and one light sandwich piece a spear, a piece of banana, cheese sticks 2-3 and 6-7 “cannonballs” in a pile.
