Appetizer-size ham and chicken meatballs have the surprise of melted Swiss cheese tucked inside. Easy to make, the tasty morsels are coated in bread crumbs, then deep fried and baked.
'WE BAKED at least two batches of bread each week for our family of six. We also spent hours (or so it seemed) churning the butter to spread on it, which we especially loved to do while it was still warm. Fried chicken never tasted quite as good without homemade bread-and-butter sandwiches.'
Carnitas means 'little meats' and is traditionally fried then braised. This recipe is made much easier using the slow cooker but the results are just as tasty.
