Chicken Chorizo Albondigas Meatballs With Mango Bbq Sauce And Asian Slaw Recipes

Steps:

• Put chorizo, beef, pork, onion, panko, tomato paste, oregano, paprika, garlic salt, Aleppo pepper, turmeric, cumin and eggs in a large mixing bowl and knead together with your hands (using gloves is a good idea) until everything is thoroughly combined. Form the mixture into a ball, then cover and refrigerate, 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line a half sheet pan or cookie sheet with parchment paper. Working quickly, weigh out 1-ounce portions of the meat. Roll each portion into balls and transfer to the lined sheet pan.
• Roast, about 40 minutes. Toss the meatballs in the Cuban Catsup and serve over fresh greens, if desired.
• Combine the tomatoes, cumin, vinegar, garlic, paprika, Aleppo pepper, turmeric, salt, smoked paprika and 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan, and bring to a slow simmer over medium-low heat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has reduced and the mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
• Transfer to a non-reactive container and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
• Pour the mixture into a blender and blend on high. With the blender running, drizzle in the oil to form an emulsion.

Steps:

• For the quick-pickles: In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the carrot and daikon and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool. Refrigerate, covered, for 2 hours.
• For the sauce: Bring the soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, vinegar and sambal to a simmer in a small saucepan. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• For the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the chicken, panko, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg, scallions and some salt and pepper. Mix well to combine, but don't overwork. Form the mixture into eight 2-inch balls.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the pan with canola oil. Add the meatballs and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until cooked though. Baste generously with sauce during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
• To assemble the sliders: Serve the meatballs on the buns, topping each with a tablespoon of the quick-pickles (drained) and some cilantro leaves. Secure with bamboo skewers and serve on a large platter with extra sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Put the turkey in a bowl and add the celery, garlic, onion, salt and pepper. Mix well and scoop into golf ball-size meatballs. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet as you go. Bake until cooked through and browned, 15 to 17 minutes.
• Meanwhile make the sauce. Add the mango, barbecue sauce, agave, soy sauce and habanero peppers to a saucepan with 1/2 cup of water and stir. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes to thicken slightly and enhance the heat of the peppers. Puree with an immersion blender or use a food processor.
• Toss the meatballs with the sauce until well coated. Place on a serving platter and garnish with the sliced green onions.

Steps:

• Asian Slaw: Combine green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots and toss in a medium serving bowl. Whisk together rice wine vinegar, sugar, lime juice, ground ginger, and salt and pour over salad mixture. Toss and chill until serving.
• Sweet Potato Wedges: Cut each sweet potato into eighths. With a pastry brush, coat each piece lightly with canola oil. Bake in a preheated 425 degree F oven for 20 minutes or until tender. Set aside and keep warm until serving.
• Tempeh: Cut each tempeh cake in half and then cut each piece in two lengthwise. You should end up with 4 semi-square pieces. Score each piece on both sides, diagonally, about 1/8-inch deep. Repeat scoring in opposite direction to create a diamond pattern. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups water to boil, add tempeh cakes, and steam for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and place tempeh in a flat bowl or square baking pan and pour soy sauce over top, making sure each piece gets coated. Let set for 5 minutes.
• Arrange tempeh on lightly oiled baking sheet. With a pastry brush, lightly coat the top of each tempeh cake, top and bottom, with barbecue sauce.
• Caramelized Onions: In a medium non-stick skillet, heat canola oil over medium-high heat and add sliced onion. Saute onion until translucent, add the brown sugar, and continue cooking another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Assembly: Place 1 or 2 slices of BBQ tempeh in a whole grain sandwich bun. Top with caramelized onions. Place on a plate with 4 sweet potato wedges and a serving of Asian slaw. Have a small bowl of barbecue sauce on the side.
• Beverage suggestion: Loose and/or bag Green Tea

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the red peppers, garlic, salt and pepper, and allspice and cook for 2 minutes more. Stir in the vinegar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice and tomato sauce and cook for 1 minute more. Transfer the mixture into a bender and add the mango and jalapeno. Blend until smooth.
• Put 1 cup of the barbeque sauce into a resealable plastic bag with the chicken and marinate for 1 hour.
• Preheat the broiler. Put the chicken on a broiler pan and discard the marinade. Broil the chicken on high for about 12 minutes, turning once. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Spoon about 1/2 cup of barbeque sauce over the meat slices and serve.

Steps:

• Pour water into a large stockpot over high heat. Stir in 3 cups tomato sauce, yellow onion, chicken bouillon, garlic, and 1 tablespoon dried oregano. Bring broth to a slow boil.
• Combine ground beef, eggs, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, white rice, 1/4 cup cilantro, seasoned salt, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and cumin in a large bowl. Squeeze mixture with your hands until thoroughly mixed.
• Scoop 1/4 cup of beef mixture and form in a ball. Lower gently into boiling broth. Repeat with remaining beef mixture.
• Stir potatoes, carrots, and celery into the broth. Cover and simmer until meatballs and potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in zucchini and cabbage. Cover and simmer until cabbage is tender, about 10 minutes.
• Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and garnish with avocado and 1/4 cup cilantro.
