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.
