Albóndigas con Chipotle (Meatballs in Chipotle Sauce)
Albóndigas, Spanish for meatballs, is a popular Mexican dish. In this recipe, the sauce gets its spicy, roasted flavor from chipotle peppers (smoked jalapeños packed in adobo sauce), which add a smoky flavor and a broad, lingering heat. Serve over white rice, or with rice and beans for an entrée, or as individiual hors d'oeuvres.

1 pound(s) Ground beef
4 Tablespoon(s) Bread crumbs
4 clove(s) Garlic cloves, 2 chopped, 2 whole
3 Eggs
to taste Black pepper, freshly ground
4 Chipotle chiles in adobo
2 Tablespoon(s) Vegetable oil


Instructions:
1. To roast tomatoes, grill or broil them as close to heat as possible, turning as needed, until skin is blackened in spots, about 3 minutes on each side. Cool. When cool enough to handle, remove skins. Reserve.
2. Combine beef, bread crumbs, chopped garlic, eggs, 2 teaspoons cumin, salt, and pepper. Cover mixture, and let chill in refrigerator.
3. In a blender or food processor, blend reserved tomatoes with chipotles, stock, whole garlic cloves, remaining cumin, and oregano.
4. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet. Add the tomato sauce, season to taste with additional salt and pepper, and bring mixture to a boil.
5. Meanwhile, make uniform medium-sized meatballs from meat mixture.
6. Add meatballs to simmering sauce and cook about 25 minutes.
7. Serve as an entrée over rice, or alone as an hors d'oeuvre.
