SPANISH CHORIZO BALLS

A tasty Spanish twist on the classic Swedish meatballs, these half-pork, half-chorizo meatballs are rich and tasty at room temp, or you can serve them hot in a fondue pot. Either way, you're going to want to serve them alongside plenty of crusty bread to sop up all of the delicious citrus-spiked tomato gravy.

Time 45m

Yield Makes 36

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 pound fresh chorizo, removed from casings
3/4 pound ground pork
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small onion, peeled and quartered
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
2 roasted red peppers or piquillo peppers
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
2/3 cup fresh orange juice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Chopped parsley, for serving
Toothpicks, for serving

Steps:

  • Gently stir together chorizo and pork in a bowl to thoroughly combine. Scoop level tablespoons of pork mixture; gently form into balls with dampened hands (do not overwork, or meatballs may be tough); season meatballs with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Pulse onion and garlic in a food processor until minced. Add red peppers; pulse until minced. Add tomato sauce and orange juice; purée until smooth.
  • Heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high. When it shimmers, add meatballs in a single layer. Cook, turning a few times, until golden brown in places but not cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet (do not wipe clean). Add tomato mixture to skillet; lightly season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Return meatballs and any accumulated juices to skillet. Continue simmering until meatballs are cooked through and tomato mixture has reduced to a thick gravy, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with toothpicks on the side. (Meatballs can be made ahead; let cool completely then refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days. Reheat in a small covered pot or saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring a few times, until gravy is simmering and meatballs are just warmed through, about 10 minutes.)

This recipe is posted by request. Original recipe is by Charles G. Reavis. There are a few types of Spanish Chorizo. Sweet Spanish Chorizo calls for paprika, while the Spicy Spanish Chorizo calls for Cayenne pepper. This Version calls for Cayenne Pepper. If you prefer the sweet simply switch out paprika for the cayenne. You should also note that Authentic Spanish Chorizo recipes vary from Village to Village-adjust seasonings to personal taste.

CHORIZO MEATBALLS

This is a variation on a recipe from a 21 day sugar detox program. The original recipe called for chorizo spices. After unsuccessfully searching for said spices around town, my gym coach told me she just uses chorizo. I usually find Chorizo sold in 10 ounce tubes. You can find beef or pork chorizo. I prefer beef. Simply cut the tube in half for this recipe.

Time 30m

Yield 16-20 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb ground pork
5 ounces chorizo sausage (beef)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 -2 teaspoon Hungarian paprika (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Mix all ingredients in a bowl. The chorizo will not crumble like the ground pork. So you'll want to tear it into smaller chunks so it blends well with the other ingredients.
  • Form mixture into 16 to 20 balls. Place in a stoneware or glass baking dish.
  • Bake 20-25 minutes.
