• While meatballs are baking, make sauce:.
• Combine sauce ingredients in blender and process to a smooth puree.

ALBONDIGAS EN CHIPOTLE DE TUBAC RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Slice the tomatoes and place on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Drizzle a tiny bit of EVOO over and sprinkle with a little salt. Place in a 450 oven and roast for 20-25 minutes... meanwhile Make the albondigas: place the bacon and garlic cloves in a food processor and whiz. Add the eggs and bread crumbs, whiz again. Add the ground chorizo and tukey, mint and/or basil and 1 tsp salt. Whiz to combine all but dont overdo it into a paste. Scrape the mixture into a large bowl. Scoop 1/2 of this meat mixture into a ziplock baggie and freeze for easy albondigas later! Set bowl aside. Clean out the food processor. Remove the roasted tomatoes from the oven when they are ready and scrape them and all their juices into the clean food processor. Clean off the baking sheet that had the tomatoes on it and oil it lightly for roasting the meatballs. Roll large spoonfulls of meat mixture into meatballs about the size of a golf or ping pong ball. Place them on the baking sheet. Roast in the same 450 oven for 15 minutes. Turn them and roast an additional 10 minutes. While the meatballs roast: Add the onion and garlic to the food processor with your roasted tomatoes. Whiz to chop well. Add the chipotles and the adobo sauce plus 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp sugar. Whiz to a nice thin paste consisitancy. On the stove top, heat 2 TBS EVOO. When oil is hot, add the tomato/ chipotle mixture. It will sputter and pop. This is good. Stand by with a wooden flat spoon or sturdy spatula and let the sauce cook for 5 minutes or so, undisturbed, to develope that wonderful dark crud underneath. Stir well and continue to cook, letting the crud keep forming and then scraping it up for about another 20-25 minutes total. This is where the flavor deepens! Manage the heat and your stirring so it doesnt burn.. just keep developing that rich brown crud, then scrape it up smooth it out, and wait for it to form again.... now add the chicken broth and stir to deglaze. Add the red wine and sherry. Stir and let cook 5 minutes or so. Add the cinnamon, cloves and handfull of chocolate. Stir to melt the chocolate. Season with salt as needed. Turn off heat. Your meatballs are probably done now. Remove from oven and place them into the crock pot. Pour the cooked sauce over and stir gently to combine. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours or more until soft and cooked through. Stir in or garnish with chopped fresh cilantro at the end and serve with crushed chiltipin on the side for those who like the extra heat!

ALBóNDIGAS AL CHIPOTLE (SPICY MEATBALL SOUP)

Steps:

• For the broth: On medium heat, in a pot, saute the onion, garlic and cumin seeds in the olive oil until the onions are translucent. Add tomatoes and continue to simmer slow and low. It's ready when the tomatoes are cooked down and it looks saucy. You may need to add a little broth. At this point, either transfer tomato sauce to a blender jar with the chipotles, or if you have a hand-held blender, throw the chipotles in the pot and blend there with a little broth. When your tomato sauce is smooth, transfer back to the pot, add all of the broth, carrots, potatoes and fresh herbs, S&P, cover, and bring to a steady simmer for about 20 minutes or so. (I like to add zucchini, and kale if I have it. Add it a little later though.)
• Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground beef and pork, rice, oregano, egg, S&P with your hands. It's fun. Form into balls, size is up to you. I wouldn't recommend larger than baseball sized or they might fall apart. Gently add the meatballs to the soup one at a time. When they are good and buoyant and firm, they're done. Serve in deep bowls. Have fresh, chopped white onion, cilantro, lime wedges and chopped avocado for a garnish, and of course, plenty of warm corn tortillas! ¡Buen provecho!
