Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green bell pepper, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper and onion and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until the vegetables soften, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Mix in the adobo seasoning, all-purpose seasoning and the epis. Spread the mixture out on a sheet pan and put in the refrigerator to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cooled bell pepper and onion mixture, breadcrumbs, flour, Parmesan, ketchup, mustard and black pepper. Use your hands or a wooden spoon to fold in all the ingredients thoroughly. Roll the mixture into the desired size balls.
- Heat the remaining 3 cups oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Working in batches, fry the meatballs until browned and cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball registers 145 degrees F. Place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain. Serve the meatballs with fried plantains if using and garnish with scallion.
- Combine all the epis ingredients in a blender or food processor. Pulse until roughly chopped. Keep refrigerated and use for your seasoning needs.
