Notes
Top Tip: make sure you drain the water from the ricotta to ensure you end up with a crispier ricotta ball.
Pork Rind Bread Crumbs: make pork rind crumbs simply by blending plain pork rinds in the blender until crumbs form.
Breading: make sure you get a good thick coating of the breading around the ricotta balls otherwise some of the cheese might seep out a bit while frying.
