Directions
Chipotle Meatballs – El Naranjo Restaurant, Oaxaca, Mexico, These meatballs are flavored with chipotle chiles and capers At the restaurant they are served over rice I prefer serving the meatballs alone as cocktail appetizers They might also be good used for a meatball sandwich Published in Bon Appetit, May 2003 , These were very good, a nice change from Italian meatballs I served them over brown rice used canned crushed tomatoes which worked perfectly Thanks Swissms
