Preparation Instructions:
Meatballs
- • Place chorizo into a medium size bowl. Add all peppers, garlic and onion.
- • In a separate bowl, whisk egg and add bread crumbs. Let sit two minutes.
- • Combine with meat mixture and blend until all ingredients are incorporated.
- • Roll into approximately one inch balls and place on a sheet pan. Bake at 350°F for approximate 10-12 minutes or until fully cooked.
Mashed
- • Prepare mashed potatoes according to package instructions.
- • Top each cooked meatball with approximately 1 oz of redskin mashed.
- • Plate with a heavy wooden pick through the top of each meatball.
- • Serve with Tomatillo Sauce on the side.
Tomatillo Sauce
- • Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat.
- • Grill tomatillos, jalapenos, onion and garlic in skillet, occasionally turning to toast all sides, for about 5 minutes.
- • Ingredients will blacken in places (this is a good thing). Remove from skillet and put into a blender, add cilantro and puree until smooth.
- • Heat oil in a sauce pan over medium heat.
- • Pour puree into pan and cook, stirring constantly, until it darkens in color, about 5 minutes. Add stock, season with salt and pepper.
