Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Meatballs
4 4x4-inch crustless squares firm white sandwich bread, torn into small pieces
1/3 cup whole milk
1/4 cup finely chopped white onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound lean ground beef
1 pound lean ground pork
1 cup finely chopped seeded tomatoes (about 4 medium)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
Sauce
4 medium serrano chiles, stemmed
2 garlic cloves, unpeeled
4 14 1/2-ounce cans diced tomatoes in juice
1/4 cup canola oil
1 cup water
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
Mexican White Rice

Steps:

  • For meatballs:
  • Combine bread, milk, onion, garlic, salt, oregano, and pepper in large bowl. Mash with fork until thick paste forms. Mix in beef, pork, tomatoes, eggs, and mint (mixture will be soft). Using 1/4 cupful for each, form mixture into 2-inch balls. Place on baking sheet; chill while making sauce.
  • For sauce:
  • Line heavy small skillet with foil; add chiles and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat until skins begin to blister and blacken, turning frequently, about 15 minutes. Cool garlic slightly, then peel. Working in batches, puree tomatoes with juices, whole chiles, and garlic in blender until almost smooth. (Meatballs and puree can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Keep meatballs refrigerated. Cover and refrigerate puree.)
  • Heat oil in heavy large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add tomato puree, 1 cup water, and salt; bring to boil. Carefully add meatballs; bring to simmer. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until meatballs are cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Uncover and boil gently until liquid is reduced to sauce consistency, stirring occasionally, about 18 minutes.
  • Spoon Mexican White Rice into 6 shallow bowls. Top rice with meatballs and tomato-serrano sauce and serve.

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.

QUICK SAUSAGE MEATBALLS WITH A TOMATO AND BASIL SAUCE, SPAGHETTI AND SWEET RAW PEAS



Quick Sausage Meatballs with a Tomato and Basil Sauce, Spaghetti and Sweet Raw Peas image

This is a fantastic recipe that completely celebrates everything I love about peas. Even though they only make an appearance right at the end, it's a star performance. I like to serve a pile of unshelled peas in the middle of the table so that everyone gets to shell some over their own plate. It's also an incredibly fast recipe - you can be sitting down to eat within a minute of the pasta being done. The key to getting it right, though, is to buy really good-quality sausages

Provided by Jamie Oliver

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Olive oil
8 good-quality pork sausages
1 pound spaghetti
Sea salt
A few sprigs fresh marjoram, thyme or rosemary, leaves picked
11 ounces fresh peas, in their pods
1 block Parmesan, to serve
Olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely sliced
1 small bunch fresh basil, leaves picked, stalks finely chopped
2 (14-ounce) cans good-quality plum tomatoes
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Good quality balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat a large saucepan and add a few glugs of olive oil. Snip the sausages apart, then squeeze and pinch the meat out of the skins so that you get little meatball shapes - don't make them too big or they will take too long to cook. Try to get at least 3 balls out of each sausage. Don't worry about rolling them into perfect balls and making them look all fancy - rough and rustic is good! Put them into your pan. Keep frying and turning the meatballs until they're golden brown and cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, put the spaghetti into a large pan of salted boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
  • To make your tomato sauce, heat a separate pan and pour in some olive oil. Add the garlic and the chopped basil stalks and move them around the pan for a couple of minutes. Put some small basil leaves aside for later, and sprinkle the rest into the pan. Add the tomatoes and season carefully with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a simmer, break up your tomatoes a bit more with a spoon and add a swig of balsamic vinegar - it's lovely for adding sweetness to the sauce.
  • Add the herbs to the pan of sausage meatballs, tossing everything in all the lovely flavors. Cook for around 30 seconds. When your spaghetti is cooked, drain it and divide the pasta and meatballs between 4 bowls. Spoon over the tomato sauce. Sprinkle over the reserved basil leaves and serve with a handful of fresh peas per person in the middle of the table, so that everyone can have a go at shelling their own, and a little Parmesan for grating or shaving over the top.

Provided by Julesong

Categories     Meat

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

3/4 cup onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup fresh parsley, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled (or 3 tablespoons minced fresh basil)
28 ounces tomatoes, crushed
6 ounces tomato paste
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup dry red wine
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons romano cheese, freshly grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
2 slices bread, soaked in broth or milk (with liquid squeezed from it)
1 lb chuck, ground
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup romano cheese, freshly grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground ( to taste)
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: in a heavy saucepan cook the onion and the garlic in the oil over low heat, stirring, for 2 minutes; add parsley, basil, tomatoes, tomato paste, stock, wine, sugar, romano, salt, and oregano, and simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
  • While sauce is cooking, prepare the meatballs: in a large bowl combine bread (with liquid squeezed from it), chuck (it's really good if you grind your own!), eggs, romano, parsley, garlic, the oregano, salt, and pepper; mix well and form into 8 meatballs.
  • In a large skillet brown the meatballs in the oil over high heat, turning them often; make sure to not crowd them in the pan, otherwise they won't brown properly.
  • Transfer the browned meatballs to the sauce with a slotted spoon and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
  • You can serve them with your favorite pasta right away, but these improve in flavor if they're cooled and chilled, covered, and refrigerated overnight or up to 2 days before serving.
