I want to make these chicken meatballs but pork is at a pretty good

[orchid]

price so I was thinking of using ground pork instead of the ground chicken. Does anyone see a problem with it?http://www.copymethat.com/r/tUni2fa/chicken-meatballs-with-ginger-and-miso/

I say go for it; it should be fine. (nt)

--just use the lean ground pork, not the other stuff! (nt)

Yep, great. Thanks

...but if you do decide to go with chicken, this is similar and quite delicious.

No problem at all and might even be more flavorful, IMO.

 

[marilynfl]

what does that mean? *not the other stuff*?

 

[mistral]

Not the plain ol' fatty pork that is available as simply "Ground Pork" in the meat cases here

There is the lean stuff that comes from a local meatpacker, Farmer John, and the fatty stuff--more for home-made sausage patties and stuffings.

oh...okay. I buy pork about once a year.

I may be very lucky but our ground pork is quite "lean"--very little renders out comparatively. Just

my experience in the supermarkets here.
