Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium red onion, finely diced
1 jalapeno, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons ancho chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 to 2 chipotle peppers in adobo, processed until smooth
One 28-ounce can plum tomatoes and their juice, processed until smooth
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Clover honey, to taste, optional
1 to 2 tablespoons Mexican crema
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
1/3 pound chorizo, very cold, cubed
1/3 pound chuck, very cold, cubed
1/3 pound pork butt, very cold, cubed
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro, plus extra for garnish
1/4 cup freshly grated Cotija cheese
1 tablespoon New Mexico chili powder
2 teaspoons Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 3/4 cups chicken stock
Queso fresco, for garnish
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the red chile tomato sauce: Heat the oil in a 12-inch high-sided saute pan over high heat. Cook the onions and jalapenos until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds, and then stir in the chili powder and coriander and cook 1 minute. Pour in 1 cup water and cook until reduced. Mix in the chipotles and tomatoes and bring a boil, and then reduce to a simmer and cook until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper and honey, if using. Whisk in the crema, followed by the cilantro, and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
  • For the mexican meatballs: Grind the cubed meats using a hand-operated meat grinder fit with a medium dye. Combine the ground meats with the garlic and egg in a large bowl, and then add in 1/4 cup of the cilantro, the cheese, New Mexico chili powder, Mexican oregano, cumin and cayenne pepper. Gently mix together until combined. Begin mixing in the breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture holds together. Mix in some salt and black pepper, and form the meat into 2-inch balls. Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, until brown all over, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock and cook until the liquid is mostly reduced and the meatballs are just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes longer. Transfer to a serving platter and top with the Red Chile Tomato Sauce, queso fresco and additional cilantro leaves.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound ground turkey
1 ½ teaspoons Mexican-style chili Powder
1 teaspoon guajillo chile powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ onion, finely chopped
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
½ Anaheim (New Mexico) chile pepper, seeded and minced
2 tostada shells, crushed into fine crumbs
¼ cup bread crumbs
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
½ onion, diced
1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, finely chopped
1 (24 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a sheet of aluminum foil onto a baking sheet, and lightly grease with cooking spray.
  • Place the ground turkey into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with the Mexican chili powder, guajillo chile powder, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Add the egg, olive oil, chopped onion, jalapeno pepper, and Anaheim pepper. Mix well with your hands until evenly blended, then sprinkle with the tostada crumbs and bread crumbs. Mix again until the bread crumbs are incorporated. Form the meatball mixture into 1-inch balls and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the meatballs have lightly browned and are no longer pink in the center, about 40 minutes. Turn the meatballs over after 20 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the spaghetti and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • After you have flipped the meatballs, stir together the diced tomatoes, diced onion, chipotle chile, spaghetti sauce, and taco seasoning in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer 10 to 15 minutes until the onion is tender.
  • Once the meatballs are ready, stir them into the sauce, and cook 5 minutes longer. Spoon the meatballs and sauce over the spaghetti to serve.
