Yield Makes 8 (hors d'oeuvres)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/3 cup whole milk
1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs
6 bacon slices, chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped seeded canned chipotles in adobo
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons water
3/4 pound ground pork
1/2 pound ground veal
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Equipment: about 16 (6-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in water
Garnish: lime wedges

Steps:

  • Stir together milk and bread crumbs in a large bowl.
  • Cook bacon in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
  • Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet, then cook onion, garlic, chipotles, cumin, and oregano in skillet, stirring, until onion is softened, about 3 minutes. Add water and cook, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until water has evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir into bread crumb mixture, then add ground meats, egg, parsley, bacon, and 1 teaspoon salt and mix well with your hands.
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Form scant tablespoons of meat mixture into balls and thread 3 balls 1/2 inch apart onto each skewer, arranging skewers on a lightly oiled broiler pan. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat (do not turn) until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of meatballs, but these Chipotle Meatballs were surprisingly good. The chipotle peppers added a nice smoky flavor and the meatballs were very juicy.

These Chipotle Meatballs are a great way to use up leftover ground beef. They're also a great freezer meal. I just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to eat.
