MOINK Balls!
Bacon-Wrapped BBQ Meatballs
MOINK Balls, meatballs wrapped in bacon, were originally created by Larry Gaian of Embers & Flame. He and his friends coined the term MOINK to describe a culinary creation that embodies both beef and pork (moo + oink = moink). Personally I find the concept of MOINK Balls to be quite brilliant. It consists of balls of meat wrapped in bacon! 'Nuff said! It's amazing yet very simple, and simplicity, according to Gaian, is the key. In fact he believes in its simplicity so much that he insists they be made with pre-cooked meatballs. For obvious reasons I believe that using frozen meatballs from the supermarket to be a significant flaw in an otherwise perfect idea. You can make MOINK Balls with fresh ingredients and still keep it very simple, and since today is the first day of summer I decided to do just that.
