It’s actually mostly creamy rice (risotto) with a ball of mozzarella in the middle!

This reminds me of a place that had something called dirty balls or something like that.

Was Cajun Sausage meatball, covered in Cajun risotto style dirty rice and cheese. Then deep fried.

Yeah those are Boudin Balls. Made of the same filling as boudin sausage rolled in batter and fried.

>Cajun boudin blanc, made from a pork and rice mixture (much like dirty rice) in pork casings. Often includes pork liver and heart. Generally simmered or braised, although it may also be grilled.

>Boudin ball: A Cajun variation on boudin blanc. Instead of the filling being stuffed into pork casings, it is rolled into a ball, battered, and deep-fried.[
